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 comin'
'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 comin'
'round again
So give a little take a little
Live a little now and then
Busy makin'
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 comin'
'round again
So give a little take a little
Live a little now and then
This life ain't comin'
'round again
So lean back chew the fat
Take a day just a piddle
Live a little now and then
