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: C Am (x2) #1.

^AmWell, life's too ^Cshort..and you're too ^Amsweet. Every day of your ^Clife, child..you've got to spend with ^Amme. ^AmNow, let me tell you about ^CSally..she's a-really ^Amtough..and girl, you know about ^CEmmy..she's cool ^G7enough.

#2.

Oh, but life's too ^Cshort to mess a^Amround..don't you give me no ^Cstuff, child..and don't you put me ^Amdown. A-no ^Cno..A-no ^Amno..A-no ^Cno..A-no-^Amno.

BRIDGE:

I, ^FI keep a-tellin' you..^CI, I keep a-tellin' you.. I, ^FI keep a-tellin' you, ^Caahhhhh.. I, ^FI said, I told a-you ^Cbaby..I said, I told-a you, uh-^G7huh..I said, ^Cwhat, oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-^Fhooooh!!!

#3.

And you're too ^Amwild..to pass me by, ^Cbaby, with just a kiss and a ^Amsmile. We gotta up and get ^Cmarried..before my hair turns ^Amgray. I need you for ^Creal, baby..I've had my time to ^Amplay.

OUTRO:

Now c'^Cmon, a-c'^Ammon..a-c'^Cmon, don't make me so ^Amblue. (C'^Cmon, C'^Ammon) A-hey-^Chey, A-hey-^Amhey..A-hey-^Chey, A-hey-^Amhey. (C'^Cmon, C'^Ammon)..(Fade.)

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
