Life s Too Short:The Lafayettes.
#87 on BB Hot 100 on RCA Records in
1962. (Supposedly banned in some places
for suggestive lyrics. Can t see it.
Great song.)
INTRO: (x2)
#1.
Well, life s too short..and you re too sweet.
Every day of your life, child..you ve got to
spend with me.
Now, let me tell you about Sally..she s a-really
tough..and girl, you know about Emmy..she s cool
enough.
#2.
Oh, but life s too short to mess around..don t you
give me no stuff, child..and don t you put me down.
A-no no..A-no no..A-no no..A-no-no.
BRIDGE:
I, I keep a-tellin you..I, I keep a-tellin you..
I, I keep a-tellin you, aahhhhh..
I, I said, I told a-you baby..I said, I told-a you,
uh-huh..I said, what, oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hooooh!!!
#3.
And you re too wild..to pass me by, baby, with just
a kiss and a smile.
We gotta up and get married..before my hair turns gray.
I need you for real, baby..I ve had my time to play.
OUTRO:
Now c mon, a-c mon..a-c mon, don t make me so blue.
(C mon, C mon)
A-hey-hey, A-hey-hey..A-hey-hey, A-hey-hey.
(C mon, C mon)..(Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
