[1st verse:]
+
Ev'ry time
+
I see a puppy upon a summer's day
+
A puppy dog at play
+
My heart is filled with envy
+
That's because
+
My heart is yearning to pass the time away
+
Like that pup
+
'Cause I'm all fed up
+
And tho' it's wrong to be
+
I long to be
+
[chorus:]
+
Lazy
+
I want to be lazy
+
I want 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 want to 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
+
[2nd verse:]
+
Life is short
+
And getting shorter with each day that goes by
+
And how the time does fly
+
Before you know, it's over
+
That's why I'm
+
In such a hurry to pack my things and fly
+
To a spot
+
Where it's nice and hot
+
And hear the birdies sing
+
While I'm being
+
