Teddy Thompson - Let's Think About Living lyrics

One, two, three, four 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 cats cryin' Well I wish I could die Lost most of our happy people I'ma wonderin' why Let's think about livin', let's think about lovin' Let's think about the hoopin' and the hoppin' And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin' Let's forget about the whinin' The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin' The fellow with the switch blade knife Let's think about livin', let's 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 Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil Where they feel like 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 hoopin' and the hoppin' And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin' Let's forget about the whinin' The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin' The fellow with the switch blade 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 hoopin' and the hoppin' And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin' Let's forget about the whinin' The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin' The fellow with the switch blade knife Let's think about livin', let's think about life Let's think about livin', let's think about life
