Let's Think About Living Songtext
von Bob Luman

In every other song that I′ve 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 cat's crying or ready to die
We′ve lost most all of our happy people
And I'm wondering why

Let's think about livin′
Let′s think about lovin'
Let′s think about the whoopin' and the hoppin′
And the boppin' and the lovin′, lovie-dovie

Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin′
And the shootin′ and the dying
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
Let's think about livin′
Let's think about life


We lost old Marty Robbins
Down in El Paso a little while back
And now Miss Patti Page or one of them
Is a-wearin′ black
And Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil
Where they feel like a-they could die
If we keep on a-losin′ our singers like that
I'll be the only one you can buy

Let's think about livin′
Let′s think about lovin'
Let′s think about the whoopin' and the hoppin′
And the boppin' and the lovin′, lovie-dovie

Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin′
And the shootin′ and the dying
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
Let's think about livin′
Let's think about life

Let′s think about livin'
Let′s think about lovin'
Let's think about the whoopin′ and the hoppin′
And the boppin' and the lovin′, lovie-dovie

Let's forget about the whinin′ and the cryin'
And the shootin′ and the dying
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
Let's think about livin'
Let′s think about life


Let′s think about livin'
Let′s think about life
Let's think about livin′
Let's think about life
Let′s think about livin'
