I Don’t Think I’ll End It All Today

When I see the world and its wonders, what is there to say?
I don't think, oh no, I don't think I'll end it all today
Fish in sea and sun in the heaven, sailboat in the bay
I don't think, oh no, I don't think I'll end it all today

So many sweet things still on my list
So many sweet lips still to be kissed
So many sweet dreams still to unfold
So many sweet lies still to be told

When I see the world and its wonders
What is there to say?
There's no time for the reaper to call
So I don't think I'll end it all today

Away with the river
Away with the razor
Away with the pearly gates
Away with barbiturates
Away with the Seconal
The fall from the building tall
No, I don't think I'll end it all today

When I see your smile with its sunshine, what is there to say?
I don't think, oh no, I don't think I'll end it all today
Tell the coroner and the mourners please to stay away
I don't think, oh no, I don't think I'll hang myself today

So many hilltops still to be climbed
So many good words still to be rhymed
So many sweet songs still to be sung
So many slim hips still to be swung

When I see your smile with its sunshine, what is there to say?
Let me quote from a ditty we wrote
Oh, I don't think I'll cut my throat today

Away with the bump-off
Away with the rub-out
Away with monoxide
Away with the one-way ride
Away with beyond recall
St. Peter can tell St. Paul
That I don't think I'll end it all today

So many small hands still to be squeezed
So many bless-you's still to be sneezed
So many smart deals still to be clinched
So many soft spots still to be pinched

Tell the crocodiles in the river please to swim away
I don't think, oh no, I don't think
Don't think I'll drown myself
Don't think I'll cut my throat
Don't think I'll commit hara-kiri
Don't think I'll jump from the ferry
Oh, I don't think I'll end it all today
