[Verse 1]
Without your father or your mother
Life goes on
Without your sister or your brother
Life goes on
Without your children down the line
Oh the drum stays right in time
And life goes on

[Verse 2]
Without Elvis, without Jesus
Life goes on
Without anything it pleases
Life goes on
Without the beggar or the king
Without every living thing
Yeah, life goes on

[Verse 3]
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
