| When I see the world and its wonders, what is there to say?
|
| I don’t think, oh no, I don’t think I’ll end it all today.
|
| Fish in sea and sun in the heaven, sailboat in the bay,
|
| I don’t think, oh no, I don’t think I’ll end it all today.
|
| So many sweet things still on my list,
|
| So many sweet lips still to be kissed,
|
| So many sweet dreams still to unfold,
|
| So many sweet lies still to be told.
|
| When I see the world and its wonders, what is there to say?
|
| There’s no time for the reaper to call,
|
| So I don’t think I’ll end it all today.
|
| Away with the river,
|
| Away with the razor,
|
| Away with the pearly gates,
|
| Away with barbituates,
|
| Away with the seconal,
|
| The fall from the building tall,
|
| No, I don’t think I’ll end it all today.
|
| When I see your smile with its sunshine, what is there to say?
|
| I don’t think, oh no, I don’t think I’ll end it all today.
|
| Tell the coroner and the mourners please to stay away,
|
| I don’t think, oh no, I don’t think I’ll hang myself today.
|
| So many hilltops still to be climbed,
|
| So many good words still to be rhymed,
|
| So many sweet songs still to be sung,
|
| So many slim hips still to be swung.
|
| When I see your smile with its sunshine, what is there to say?
|
| Let me quote from a ditty we wrote:
|
| Oh, I don’t think I’ll cut my throat today.
|
| Away with the bump-off,
|
| Away with the rub-out,
|
| Away with monoxide,
|
| Away with the one-way ride,
|
| Away with beyond recall,
|
| St. Peter can tell St. Paul
|
| That I don’t think I’ll end it all today.
|
| So many small hands still to be squeezed,
|
| So many bless-you's still to be sneezed,
|
| So many smart deals still to be clinched,
|
| So many soft spots still to be pinched.
|
| Tell the crocodiles in the river please to swim away,
|
| I don’t think, oh no, I don’t think,
|
| Don’t think I’ll drown myself,
|
| Don’t think I’ll cut my throat,
|
| Don’t think I’ll commit hari-keri,
|
| Don’t think I’ll jump from the ferry,
|
| Oh, I don’t think I’ll end it all today. |
