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
