All you people keep yourself alive

To keep me satisfied  
Keep yourself alive  
Keep yourself alive  
All you people keep yourself alive  
Take you all your time and money honey  
You will survive

Oh no, not I, I will survive  
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive  
I’ve got all my life to live  
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive  
I will survive, hey, hey

Life is just a bowl of cherries  
Don’t take it serious  
Life’s too mysterious  
You work, you save, you worry so  
But you can’t take your dough  
When you go, go, go

_Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries. Judy Garland_

Stop runnin’ your publishers, \*\*\*\*  
They publish the headlines and say the wrong things  
Y’all treat your Lord and Savior like renters’ insurance, you know what I mean?  
Bada the bada the boom, I bada the boom, I bada the bing  
I need a new girl, my old one was mean

The neighbors all turned out for Kate O’Grady’s wedding night.  
McDougal said, “Let’s have some fun, I think I’ll start a fight!”  
He wrecked the hall, then kissed the bride and pulverized the groom.  
Then quick as a wink, before you could think,  
Clancy lowered the boom

My old man’s drunker than a barrel full of monkeys  
And my old lady she don’t care  
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots  
A handful of grease in her hair

Oh, don’t give us none of your aggravation  
We had it with your discipline  
Oh, Saturday night’s alright for fighting  
Get a little action in

Goodbye Papa, please pray for me  
I was the black sheep of the family  
You tried to teach me right from wrong  
Too much wine and too much song  
Wonder how I got along  
Goodbye Papa it’s hard to die  
When all the birds are singing in the sky  
Now that the spring is in the air  
Little children everywhere  
When you see them, I’ll be there
