I CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
I. I went to buy
a pocket radio.
the man say,
"how 'bout a stereo?
we got AM, FM,
stereo cassette,
10-speed turntable
8-track cartridge
we got ev'rything,
color TV screen!"
CHORUS A: I said, "thank you,
I can live without it!
I can live without it!
I can live without it!"
II. I said to Jill,
"let's make love alot!
why lose the feelin'
when the feelin' is a-hot?"
she said,
"I wanna church weddin',
big reception,
house and a station wagon,
clothes,
and a diamond ring--
if you wanna have me!"
/// REPEAT CHORUS A ///
III. I went to school
to learn the bongo drum.
the teacher say,
"don't wantcha to be dumb:
you're gonna learn
how to play piano,
orchestrations,
and arrange the SATB,
and sight-sing
Bach chorales,
Schubert lieder--
if you wanna be a better
bongo beater!"
CHORUS B: I said, "thank you! but
I can live without it!
I can live without it!
I can live without it!
I can live without it!
I can live without it!
I can live without it!"
