Busy Doing Nothing - Bing Crosby, William Bendix, Sir Cedric Hardwicke

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

We’re busy doin' nothin'

Workin' the whole day through

Tryin' to find lots of things not to do

We’re busy goin' nowhere

Isn’t it just 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

And keep the crickets cheerful

They’re really a solemn bunch

Hustle, bustle

And only an hour for lunch

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

We’re busy doin' nothin'

Workin' the whole day through

Tryin' to find lots of things not to do

We’re busy goin' nowhere

Isn’t it just a crime

We’d like to be unhappy, but

We never do have the time

I have to wake the Sun up

He’s liable to sleep all day

And then inspect the rainbows

So they’ll be bright and gay

I must rehearse the songbirds

To see that they sing in key

Hustle, bustle

And never a moment free

We’re busy doin' nothin'

Workin' the whole day through

Tryin' to find lots of things not to do

We’re busy going nowhere

Isn’t it just a crime

We’d like to be unhappy, but

We never do have the time

I have to meet a turtle

I’m teachin' him how to swim

Then I have to shine the dewdrops

You know they’re looking rather dim

I told my friend, the robin

I’d buy him a brand new vest

Hustle, bustle

We never do have

We never do have

We never do, never do

Never do, never do, never do have the time

Never do have the time
