Man I'm takin', takin' all the joy that I find (I don't blame you brother, you don't live but once!) Man, I'm walkin'and talkin' to a friendly breeze (Mmm-mm, I can hear that breeze now!) And I'm doin', you know what I'm doin? Doin' everything I please (Yes yes!) I'm hopin'and prayin' to the good Lord way up above (I don't blame yer Harold, I don't blame yer man!) That nothin', nothin' ever spoils this life I love (I know what yer mean!) That's why I'm puttin', puttin' worries on the shelf Takin' fun and laughter for myself
