B 21 Pg 45

 

Today I’m ganna do nothing

 

Today I’m ganna do nothing.

I’m ganna sit around on the couch! all day.

Maybe watch a bit of TV.

or with the children play.

 

Cause it’s a good day for doing ‘absolutely nothing.’

Zilch, nix’s (except sit on me back)

and let the whole world pass me by

and just laze around getting fat.

 

Cause it’s me flexi day today and I reckon I deserve it.

I’m not even ganna do the dishes.

They can pile up for all I care

while I contemplate my dreams and wishes.

 

For tomorrow I’m ganna work hard.

Tomorrow I’m ganna earn my keep.

But for now, well … I’m ganna sit around and maybe

get a good nap and some; well earned sleep.
