Let's Think About Livin':Bob Luman.
#7 on the rock charts & #9 on the country charts
in 1960.
#1.
DIn every other song that I've heard lately,
A7some fellow gets Dshot.
DAnd his baby and his best friend both die with him,
A7as likely as Dnot.
In Ghalf of the other songs some Cat's crying,
Dor ready to die.
DWe've lost most of our happy people,
and A7I'm wondering Dwhy.
CHORUS:
DLet's think about A7living..let's think about Dloving.
Let's think about the A7whoopin'and hoppin and boppin'
and the lovie, lovie Ddovin'.
DLet's forget about the Gwhinin' and the cryin'
and the shooting and the dying..
and the Dfella with a switchblade knife..
Let's think about A7living..let's think about Dlife.
#2.
DWe lost old Marty Robbins down in El A7Paso,
a little while Dback.
DAnd now Miss Patti Page or one of A7them,
is wearing Dblack.
And GCathy's Clown has Don and Phil where they Dfeel like 
they could die.
DIf we keep on losin' our singers like that,
I'll A7be the only one you can Dbuy!
CHORUS:
ADD:
DLet's think about A7livin'..let's think about Dlife.(x2) Fade..
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
