Talk about life, talk about death
Talk about catching every breath
Talk about when, and talk about why!
Talk about do, and talk about don’t
Talk about will and talk about won’t
Talk about the sweet by and by

Well, talk is cheap and time's a-wasting
Get busy living or at least die trying
Wine's for tasting, roads for taking
Talk is cheap and time's a-wasting!

Talk about right, and talk about wrong
Talk about trying to get along
Talk about the way it oughta be
Talk about now, and talk about then
Talk about everywhere you’ve been
Talk about being free

Well, talk is cheap and time's a-wasting
Get busy living or at least die trying
Wine's for tasting, roads for taking
Talk is cheap and time's a-wasting!

Well, talk is cheap and time's a-wasting
Get busy living or at least die trying
Wine's for tasting, roads for taking
Talk is cheap and time's a-wasting!
