Do Nothing

Verse 1

If you call to ask me what I’m doing

You’ll know that I’m not doing much

I get up late and have some breakfast

And later on I’ll think about lunch

Daytime TV is just too active for me

And reading books would take up too much energy

Getting dressed feels like a day’s work to me

And leaving the house can take weeks

CHORUS 1

I’m a do nothing kind of a guy

A do nothing kind of a guy

I can sit and watch paint dry

Verse 2

I can’t work and I can’t achieve

I’ll leave this verse half-done and just go back to sleep

SOLO

And when I awake I’ll just stay up late

I’ll try to read the news but I won’t concentrate

Maybe I’ll call up some friends in the States

’cause everybody’s sleeping round here

CHORUS 2

I’m a do nothing kind of a guy

A do nothing kind of a guy

I can sit and watch paint dry

I’ll sit right here and watch the grass grow

I don’t think glaciers move too slow

I’m a do nothing

A do nothing kind of a guy

Verse 3

And those of you who wake up every morning

And know just what to do with your time

I don’t think I can under-stand your lives

I know you won’t understand mine

CHORUS 3

I’m a do nothing kind of a guy

A do nothing kind of a guy

I can sit and watch paint dry

I’ll sit right here and watch the grass grow

I don’t think glaciers move too slow

I’m a do nothing

A do nothing kind of a guy
