Go Back

This Is Living

Words & Music by Fred Wise, Ben Weisman

This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, that's the life for me

It's good to laugh and sing, don't worry about a thing
Wear a happy smile, cut loose and run a mile
If you relax and just enjoy it all, life has got to be a ball

This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, that's the life for me

It wouldn't mean a thing
If I could be a king
I really wouldn't care
To be a millionaire
I'd rather find someone to love a lot
Live and give it all I've got

This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, that's the life for me

Don't wanna settle down
I gotta move around
I gotta lot of time
I'm gonna wait and find
The kinda girl who's heart is restless too
The kind who feels the way I do

This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, that's the life for me
