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
