[00:04.80]In every other song that I've heard lately
[00:07.62]Some fellow gets shot
[00:09.75]And his baby and his best friend both die with him
[00:12.69]As likely as not
[00:14.49]In half of the other songs
[00:16.17]Some Cat's crying or ready to die
[00:19.41]We've lost most of our happy people
[00:22.02]And I'm wondering why
[00:23.79]Let's think about living
[00:26.25]Let's think about loving
[00:28.71]Let's think about the whoopin'
[00:30.09]And hoppin and boppin'
[00:31.35]And the lovie, lovie dovin'
[00:33.54]Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
[00:35.64]And the shooting and the dying
[00:36.96]And the fellow with a switchblade knife
[00:38.76]Let's think about living
[00:41.10]Let's think about life
[00:49.20]We lost old Marty Robbins
[00:51.54]Down in old El Paso a little while back
[00:54.30]And now Miss Patti Page or one of them
[00:57.36]Is a-wearing black
[00:59.28]And Cath's Clown has Don and Phil
[01:01.62]Where they feel like a-they could die
[01:04.08]If we keep on a-losin' our singers like that
[01:06.66]I'll be the only one you can buy'
[01:08.52]Let's think about living
[01:11.07]Let's think about loving
[01:13.53]Let's think about the whoopin'
[01:14.94]And hoppin and boppin'
[01:16.20]And the lovie, lovie dovin'
[01:17.94]Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin'
[01:20.61]And the shooting and the dying
