Take a look at me and tell me what you find

drunken fool, a lazy womanising swine

Well maybe so but you don't know the life I've had

I've walked with kings and lost it all but hey I'm glad

 Cos when they bring the news that i was drinking champagne When i died

 And my sixth wife will tell the gathered crowds now please Don't cry

 You'll see, my friend

I have lived each moment of each day

I have lived, you can't take that away

 I've lived, I've died

 I've laughed and cried

 I've cheated and i've been forgiven

 but most of all i've lived

Cocktail shaker and book-maker are my friends

drink from dusk till dawn the laughter never ends

You'll look at me and tell me that's no way to live

I reply now I gave it all I have to give

I have lived, I have died

I have laughed and I have cried

I have loved, I have lost

I've risked it all, I've payed the cost

Cos when they bring the news that i was drinking champagne when i died

And my sixth wife will tell the gathered crowds now please don't cry

You'll see, my friend

I have lived each moment of each day

I have lived, you can't take that away

I have lived each moment of each day

I have lived, they can't take that away

I've lived I've died

I've laughed and cried

Cheated and i've been forgiven

But most of all i have lived
