It's Great to Be Alive

It's Great to Be Alive - Johnny Mercer/Jo Stafford

It's great to be alive

To work from nine to five

To have a piece of land to farm

It's great to be alive

To have a car to drive

And have your baby on your arm

In spite of bills

And other minor ills

Somehow we manage to survive

It's great to be in love

To have a roof above

And watch the little ones around

Your own descendant

Deductable dependents

It's great to be alive

It's great to be alive

To work from nine to five

And have a piece of land to farm

A little ol' farm

It's great to be alive

To have a car to drive

And swing your baby on your arm

In spite of bills

And other minor ills

Somehow me manage to survive

It's great to be alive

To have a roof above

To watch the little ones arrive

Your own descendants

Deductable dependents

It's great it's great to be alive

We're living thanks givin'

It's great to be alive
