live a little

you've got to give a little take a little

sit a spell learn to whittle

live a little now and then

unwind take your time leave your cares all behind

and see what's around the bend

this life ain't coming 'round again

so give a little take a little

live a little now and then

in a hurry late for work

rush and worry but what's it worth

you might earn a rich man's pay

but it won't buy you one more day

you've got to give a little take a little

sit a spell learn to whittle

live a little now and then

unwind take your time leave your cares all behind

and see what's around the bend

this life ain't coming 'round again

so give a little take a little

live a little now and then

busy making your weight in gold

but you can't take it when you go

don't care how high you build your stack

they don't make a hearse with a luggage rack

you've got to give a little take a little

sit a spell learn to whittle

live a little now and then

unwind take your time leave your cares all behind

and see what's around the bend

this life ain't coming 'round again

so give a little take a little

live a little now and then

this life ain't coming 'round again

so lean back chew the fat

take a day just to piddle

live a little now and then
