Life Is For Livin'

(album: Things Are Swingin' - 1958)

Life is for living, my pretties
Love is for giving, so give in kitties
Those headlines cannot hurt you if they can't disconcert you
Don't have a thought that's negative
Love's for giving and life's to live

Lips are for kissing, my rabbits
If you've been using the best of habits
Go find yourself a smoocher and you'll enjoy the future
Just fall in love and start to live
Love's for giving and life's to live

Have a ball, whats-a-diffy-da-goof
Give your all, before this silly old willy nilly old world goes poof

It's worth repeating, my pigeons
Love is the greatest of religions
If you live like I teach you, that couch man cannot reach you
Drop every couch right in the river
Life's for living and love's to give
Life's for living so live, live, live

Live it up, treat yourself to a fling
Fill your cup before this crazy old lack-a dizzy old world goes ping
It's worth repeating, my fishes
If I could wish you the best of wishes
I'd wish you tons of laughter and love forever after
Albert Schwitzer or a realtive
Life's for living and love's to give
Life's for living so live, live, live

Live it up, yes live
Life's for living for live, live, live
Live it up
