Lyrics
Chorus
Lazy, I want to be lazy
I long to be out in the sun
With no work to be done
Under that awning they call the sky
Stretching and yawning
And let the world go drifting by
I “wanna” peep through the deep tangled wildwood
Counting sheep ’til I sleep like a child would
With a great big valise full of books
To read where it’s peaceful
While I’m killing time being lazy
