I hear it said
That the hardest work is doing nothing
That's not the sort of thing you hear me say
I hear it said
That nothing is impossible
But nothing is what I do everyday
If you call me lazy
I'll just quote John Paul
It's better to waste your life
Than to do nothing with it at all.
I'm a gentleman
with no wish to be snooty
I devote as much time as I can
to the neglect of my duties
I'm a gentleman
and when I'm feeling fruity
I devote as much time as I can
to the neglect of my duties
He who does nothing
is seldom in need of helpers
He who does nothing
requires but a dressing gown
My teacher said
That I wouldn't amount to squiddly diddly
and I hope I haven't let them down.
If you call me lazy
I'd be quite appalled
It's better to have loafed and lost
than never to have loafed at all.
I'm a gentleman
with no wish to be snooty
I devote as much time as I can
to the neglect of my duties
I'm a gentleman
and when I'm feeling fruity
I devote as much time as I can
to the neglect of my duties
I'm a gentleman
with no wish to be snooty
I devote as much time as I can
to the neglect of my duties
I'm a gentleman
and when I'm feeling fruity
I devote as much time as I can
to the neglect of my duties
(I'm a gentleman)
(with no wish to be snooty)
(I devote as much time as I can)
(to the neglect of my duties)
(I'm a gentleman)
(and when I'm feeling fruity)
(I devote as much time as I can)
(to the neglect of my duties)
