[Verse]
In every other song that I've heard latelyG  
Some fellow gets Cshot
And his baby and his best friend both die with himG  
As likely as Cnot
[Verse]
In Fhalf of the other songs some cats cryin'C  
CWell, I wish I could die
Lost most of our happy peopleG  
I'ma wonderin' Fwhy
[Chorus]
Let's think about Glivin', let's think about Clovin'
Let's think about the Ghoopin' and the hoppin'
And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey Cdovin'
Let's forget about the C7whinin'
C7The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin'
The Ffellow with the switch blade knife
Let's think about Glivin', let's think about Clife
[Verse]
(spoken)
We lost ol' Marty Bobbins
Down in GEl Paso awhile Cback
And now Miss Patty Page or one of themG  
Is a wearin' Cblack
[Verse]
(spoken)
And FCathy's Clown has Don and Phil
Where they Cfeel like they could die
CIf we keep on a losin' our singers like that
I'll be the Gonly one you can Cbuy
[Chorus]
Let's think about Glivin', let's think about Clovin'
Let's think about the Ghoopin' and the hoppin'
And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey Cdovin'
Let's forget about the C7whinin'
