Live a Little

My guardian angel
Just resigned (My ship of happiness is sunk)
I'm in a monumental bind (I'm in a stupefying funk)
"Look for the silver lining"
(Somewhere the sun is shining)
They wrote that song when they were drunk

On only one thing we can rely
We're only born to die di-di-ay-die-die
If that's our swan song
They're 'bout to blow
Let's sneak in one last bow diddi-oh-do-do
(Do-do-do-do)

Before we throw in the towel
What say we live a little
What say we give a little
That college try

Before the freaks play us foul
And paint things black a little
Let's give 'em back a little
Right in the eye

As long as little men in derbys
Come to whisk you away
Quicker than it takes to swat a fly

Let's let them say it's because
We overdid a little
Let's lift the lid a little
As we go by

Before they nail down that six-foot crate
Addressed to St. Peter's gate
Let's live a little (live a little, live a little)
You and I

As long as little old relations
Rush to probate your will
Quicker than it takes the ink to dry
Let's let them have it, but first
Let's spend the loot a little
Let's root-toot-toot a little
Let's go get high

Before we give up the ghost
And go to help the make daisies grow
Let's live a little (live a little)
Live a little, you and I!
