In every other song that I've heard lately
And his baby and his best friend both die with him
In half of the other songs
Some cat's crying or ready to die
We've lost most of our happy people
Let's think about living (think about living)
Let's think about loving (think about loving)
Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin' and boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin' and the shooting and the dying
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
We lost old Marty Robbins
Down in old El Paso a little while back
And now Miss Patti Page or one of them
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 living (think about living)
Let's think about loving (think about loving)
Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin' and boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin' and the shooting and the dying
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
Let's think about living (think about living)
Let's think about loving (think about loving)
Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin' and boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin' and the shooting and the dying
And the fellow with a switchblade knife
