C
[Verse]
G
In every other song that I've heard lately
C
Some fellow gets shot
G
And his baby and his best friend both die with him
C
As likely as not
[Verse]
F C
In half of the other songs some cats cryin'
C
Well, I wish I could die
G
Lost most of our happy people
F
I'ma wonderin' why
[Chorus]
G C
Let's think about livin', let's think about lovin'
G
Let's think about the hoopin' and the hoppin'
C
And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin'
C7
Let's forget about the whinin'
C7
The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin'

The fellow with the switch blade knife
G C
Let's think about livin', let's think about life
[Verse]
(spoken)
We lost ol' Marty Bobbins
G C
Down in El Paso awhile back
G
And now Miss Patty Page or one of them
C
Is a wearin' black
[Verse]
(spoken)
F
And Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil
C
Where they feel like they could die
C
If we keep on a losin' our singers like that
G C
I'll be the only one you can buy
[Chorus]

Let's think about livin', let's think about lovin'

Let's think about the hoopin' and the hoppin'
C
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
G C
Let's think about livin', let's think about life
[Chorus]
G C
Let's think about livin', let's think about lovin'
G
Let's think about the hoopin' and the hoppin'
C
And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin'

Let's forget about the whinin'
C7
The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin'

The fellow with the switch blade knife
G C
Let's think about livin', let's think about life

Let's think about livin', let's think about life
