BUSY DOING NOTHING


We're busy doing nothing, working all day through, 
We're trying to find lots of things not to do. 
We're busy going nowhere, isn't it such a crime ?
We'd like to be unhappy but we never do have the time. 

I have to watch the river to see that it doesn't stop, 
And stick around the rosebuds so they'll know when to pop. 
Better keep those crickets cheerful,they're really a solemn bunch, 
Farso, farso. I never have the time for lunch.

I'd like to meet a turtle, and teach him how to swim,
Then I have to shine the dew-drops, they're looking rather dim. 
Meet my friend the robin and buy him a brand new vest. 
Farso, farso, I never have time to rest.
