I wanna live fast, love hard, die young And leave a beautiful memory 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 I wanna leave a lot of happy women A-thinkin' pretty thoughts of me I wanna live fast, love hard, die young And leave a beautiful memory 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 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 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 We're gonna do some fancy steppin' We're really goin' on a spree I wanna live fast, love hard, die young And leave a beautiful memory 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 fancy-free Jump back, make tracks, move out Let the pretty gals at me I wanna live fast, love hard, die young And leave a beautiful memory
