Bm Bm, E E, A A, D D

D D
Every time

I see a puppy upon a summer's day
A A E E A A D D
A A puppy dog at play
B B E E A A
My heart is filled with envy

D D
That's why I'm
Bm Bm
In such a hurry to pass the time away
A A
Like that pup
E E
I'm all fed up
A A
And though it's wrong to be

I long to be

D D
Lazy
G G
I want to be lazy
D D G G
I long to be out in the sun
D D F# F# Am Am F#m F#m B B
With no work to be done Under that awning
Em Em
They call the sky

Bm Bm C# C#
Stretching and yawning
F#m F#m C# C# A A
And let the world go drifting by
D D
I want to peep

Through that deep
G G
Tangled wildwood
A A B B
Counting sheep
'Til I sleep
E E A A
Like a child would

D D
With a great big valise full
G G G#m G#m
Of books to read where it's peaceful
D D
While I'm
Bm Bm
Killing time
E E A A D D
Being laaaaazy


D D
I hate to hurry
Through life and worry
D7 D7
I'll be so glad when I am
G G
Among the chickens
D D
With Mr. Dickens
E E
Or Mr. Omar Khayyam
A A
To keep me company

D D Bm Bm
When I'm tired of poetry
E E
I'm gonna be there dozing
With birds composing
A A
A A pillowy willowy melody

D D
And when it showers
The bees and flowers
Will be my umbreller
G G Gm Gm D D
Until it's over Then in the clover
E E
I'll dream of Rockefeller
A A
As busy as a bee

D D B B
Selling oil to you and me
E E A A
I'll pity that man What an oil can
D D A A
He turned out to be


Lazy
I want to be lazy
I long 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 that 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
