Lyrics
There are girls just ripe for some kissing
And I mean to kiss me a few
Oh, those girls don’t know what they’re missing
I’ve got a lot of livin’ to do
And there’s wine all ready for tasting
And there’s Cadillacs all shiny and new
Gotta move, ’cause time is a wastin’
There’s such a lot of livin’ to do
There’s music to play, places to go
And people to see
Ev’rything for you and me
Life’s a ball if only you know it
And it’s all waiting for you
You’re alive, so come on and show it
There’s such a lot of livin’ to do
I’ve got a lot of livin’ to do
Man, there’s such a lot of livin’ to do
Why, there’s music to play, places to go
And people to see
Ev’rything for you and me
Life’s a ball if only you’d know it
And it’s all just waiting for you
You’re alive, so come on and show it
There’s such a lot of livin’
Such a lot of livin’, such a lot of livin’
Such a lot of livin’ to do
