Lyric

Well it's like he said, I'm an outdoor girl

Livin' it, livin' it up

Married to the king of the Underworld

Livin' it up on top

Trying to enjoy myself

Livin' it, livin' it up

Six months out of every twelve

Livin' it up on top

When the sun is high, brother, so am I

Drinking dandelion wine

Brother, I'm as free as a honeybee

In a summertime frame of mind

And when my man comes around,

Oh, I know he's gonna bring me down

But for now I'm livin' it

How are you livin' it?

Livin' it, livin' it up

Brother, right here I'm livin' it

Where are you livin' it?

Livin' it up on top!

Now why would a man of his own free will--

He's talking about your man!

-- go to work all day in the mine, in the mill?

You think I give a damn?

Why would he trade the sunshine--

Tell him how it is, brother!

-- for a couple of nickels and dimes?

Oh, up on top a man can breathe when he's-

Livin' it, livin' it up

Picking fruit in the orchard trees

Livin' it up on top

No one here's a millionaire, but we're-

Livin' it, livin' it up

What we have, we have to share!

Livin' it up on top

Come on! Say, brother, give me a lyre and a campfire

And an open field at night

Give me the sky that you can't buy

Or sell at any price

And I'll give you a song for free

'Cause that's how life oughta be!

So that's how I'm livin' it!

How are you livin' it?

Livin' it, livin' it up

Oh, brother, right here we're livin' it

Where are you livin' it?

Livin' it up on top

And that is how the summer went

Oh, I'm just getting started!

Oh, the flowers bloomed and the fruit got ripe

Who says times are hard?

And the lovers took each other by the hand

Anybody want a drink?

And danced underneath the sky

Up on top we ain't got much,

But we're-

Livin' it, livin' it up

Just enough to fill our cups

Livin' it up on top

Brother, pass that bottle around, cause we're-

Livin' it, livin' it up

Let the poet bless this round!

To the patroness of all of this: Persephone!

Here, here!

To the sunshine and the fruit of the vine

She gives us every year

Asking nothing in return, except that we should live

And learn to live as brothers in this life

And to trust she will provide

If no one takes too much, there will always be enough

She will always fill our cups

And we will always raise them up!

(Spoken)

Let the world we dream about be the one we live in now!

(Takes a drink)

'Cause right now we're livin' it-

How are you livin' it?

Livin' it, livin' it up

Brother, right here we're livin' it

Where are you livin' it?

Listen here, I'll tell you where we're livin' it!

Up on top!

Up on top!

Livin' it up and we ain't gonna stop!

Livin' it, livin' it

Livin' it, livin' it

Livin' it up on top!

- It's already the end -
