I am alive and well and unconcerned about the rumors of my death. But if I were dead, I would be the last to know.
The willow turns his back on inclement weather. And if he can do it, we can do it.
Everybody's talking about the President, we all chipped in for a bag of cement.
I think the minute you're full up and have had enough to eat, then that's time to retire.
The good Lord made this world and everything that's in it. The way I see it, baby, you got to love it to the limit.

I really do think it's time to get nice. No need to keep beating up on them. I think we've got to show that we're kind.
Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window; Why, why, says the junk in the yard.
