[Intro]
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory

[Verse 1]
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory
Don't want slow walkin' or sad singin'
Let 'em have a jubilee

[Chorus]
I wanna leave a lot of happy women
Thinking pretty thoughts of me
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory

[Bridge]
I got a hot-rod car and a cowboy suit
And I really do get around
I got a little black book and the gals look cute
And I know the name of every spot in town

[Chorus]
I wanna find 'em, fool 'em, leave 'em
And let 'em do the same to me
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory
I'm a Wampus cat, let me grab my hat
And baby, come along with me

[Chorus]
We're gonna do some fancy stepping
We're really goin' on a spree
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory

[Bridge]
Now you may not approve of the things I do
But it really don't bother me
But don't ever think you can tie me down
I'm gonna stay footloose and fancy free

[Chorus]
So jump back, make tracks, move out
And let the pretty gals at me
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory
