Without your father or your mother,
Life goes on.
Without your sister of your brother,
Life goes on.
Without your children down the line,
Oh, the drum stays right in time
and life goes on.
Without Elvis, Without Jesus,
Life goes on.
Without anything it pleases,
Life goes on.
Without the begger or the King,
Without every living thing,
Life goes on.
Without the movers and the shakers,
Life goes on.
With all the undertakers,
Life goes on.
You might think it's gonna stop
just because you're closing shop,
but, life goes on.
Life goes on.
Life goes on.
