Young And Carefree

(album: Listen! - 1967)

I should be living my life happily
Young and carefree
I should be living my life happily
Young and carefree

My true love is waiting and concentrating
Mainly on me
Days are worth giving, and life is worth living
Oh, that's how it should be
But that's not life for me

I should have children by the dozen
All of them cute as can be
Movie Saturdays, picnics on Sundays
So, that's how it should be
But that's not life for me

I should be living my life happily
Young and carefree

When I was young my father said
That's the way it should be
But that's not life for me

It's a hustle and bustle
An ache to the muscle
It's a heartache and tearful
But I gotta stay cheerful
And find the girl for me

I should be living my life happily
Young and carefree
I should be living my life happily
Young and carefree
I should be living my life happily
Young and carefree
I should be living my life happily
Young and carefree
