lets think about living

One, two, three, four
In every other song that Ive heard lately
Some fellow gets shot
And his baby and his best friend both die with him
As likely as not
In half of the other songs some cats cryin
Well I wish I could die
Lost most of our happy people
Ima wonderin why
Lets think about livin, lets think about lovin
Lets think about the hoopin and the hoppin
And the boppin and the lovey, lovey dovin
Lets forget about the whinin
The cryin, the shootin and the dyin
The fellow with the switch blade knife
Lets think about livin, lets think about life
We lost ol Marty Bobbins
Down in El Paso a hile back
And now Miss Patty Page or one of them
Is a wearin black
And Cathys Clown has Don and Phil
Where they feel like they could die
If we keep on a losin our singers like that
Ill be the only one you can buy
Lets think about livin, lets think about lovin
Lets think about the hoopin and the hoppin
And the boppin and the lovey, lovey dovin
Lets forget about the whinin
The cryin, the shootin and the dyin
The fellow with the switch blade knife
Lets think about livin, lets think about life
Lets think about livin, lets think about lovin
Lets think about the hoopin and the hoppin
And the boppin and the lovey, lovey dovin
Lets forget about the whinin
The cryin, the shootin and the dyin
The fellow with the switch blade knife
Lets think about livin, lets think about life
Lets think about livin, lets think about life
