The Importance Of Being Idle

I sold my soul for the second time

'Cause the man He don't pay me

I begged my landlord for some more time

He said "Son the bills are waiting"

My best friend called me the other night

He said "Man - are you crazy"

My girlfriend told me to get a life

She said "Boy - you're lazy"

But I don't mind

As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine

I'll be fine if you give me a minute a man's got a limit

I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

Hey Hey

I don't mind

As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine

I'll be fine if you give me a minute a man's got a limit

I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

Hey Hey

I lost my faith in the summer time

'Cause it don't stop raining

The sky all day is as black as night

But I'm not complaining

I begged my doctor for one more line

He said "Son - words fail me"

It ain't no place to be killing time

I guess I'm just lazy

BUT I don't mind

As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine

I'll be fine if you give me a minute a man's got a limit

I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

Hey Hey
