(Weisman / Wise)
Information:
Elvis sang This is Living in his
1962 film
Kid Galahad. The song, which was written by Fred
Wise and Ben Weisman, was recorded on October 27, 1961, at Radio
Recorders. Take #10 was selected for release. Reportedly, the
original title was Let's Live a Little.
Lyrics:
1. This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, that's the life for me
It's good to laugh and sing
Don't worry about a thing
Wear a happy smile, cut loose and run a mile
If you relax and just enjoy it all, life has got
to be a ball
1. (repeat)
It wouldn't mean a thing if I could be a king
I really wouldn't care to be a millionaire
I'd rather find someone to love a lot
Live and give it all I've got
1. (repeat)
Don't wanna settle down, I gotta move around
I gotta lot of time, I'm gonna wait and find
The kinda girl who's heart is restless too
The kind who feels the way I do
1. (repeat)
