Let's Think About Living Lyrics - Singles - Teddy Thompson

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
