Lyrics It's Great to Be Alive - Johnny Mercer
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
Deductible
dependents
It's
great
to
be
alive
It's
great
to
be
alive
(It's
great
to
be
here
and
kickin')
To
work
from
nine
to
five
(To
hear
an
alarm
clock
tickin')
And
have
a
piece
of
land
to
farm
(It's
really
a
kick
to
cultivate
chickens
on
a
little
ol'
farm)
It's
great
to
be
alive
(It's
up
to
work
and
strivin')
To
have
a
car
to
drive
(Then
take
your
girl
to
a
drive-in)
And
swing
your
baby
on
your
arm
(To
know
that
at
five
you're
really
arrivin',
she'll
be
holding
your
arm)
In
spite
of
bills
(Even
though
the
bills
just
pile
up
by
the
million)
And
other
minor
ills
(We
manage
to
find
the
proper
pills)
Somehow
me
manage
to
survive
(To
lose
the
little
ills,
straight,
that
really
is
great)
It's
great
to
be
alive
(That
girl
to
love
you)
To
have
a
roof
above
(That
roof
above
you
To
watch
the
little
ones
arrive)
(Especially
with
the
little
ones
arrivin'
and
all
that
jive)
Your
own
descendants
(Your
descendants)
Deductible
dependents
(In
attendance)
It's
great,
it's
great
to
be
alive
We're
livin',
thanksgivin'
It's
great
to
be
alive
