Live a Little

(Roger Springer/Tony Martin)



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...
