up and the sun goes down.
The hands on the clock keep going around.
I just get up and it's time to lay down.
Life gets tedious, don't it?
My shoes untied but I don't care. I ain't figuring
on going nowhere. I'd have to
and that's just wasted effort.
Water in the well getting
Can't take a bath for six months
more but I've heard it said
and it's true I'm sure that too much
bathing will weaken it. I open the door
and the flies swarm in. I shut the door and I'm sweating again,
and in the process I crack my shin
Mule, he must be sick. I jabbed him in
the rump with a pin on a stick.
He's been at it for a month or more
Hound dog howlin' so forlorn
Laziest dog that ever was born
He's howlin' cause he's sittin' on a
thorn and just too tired to move over.
The tin roof leaks and the chimney leans an d there's
a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans
Just can't depend on nothin'.
Cows gone dry and the hens won't lay
Troubles piling up day by day
And now I'm getting dandruff
Grief and misery, pains and woes
Debts and taxes, and so it goes
And I think I'm getting a cold in my nose
Life gets tasteless, don't it?
