Songtext von Busy Doing Nothing

We're busy doing nothing, working all day through, we're trying to find lots of things not to do. We're busy going nowhere, isn't it such 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. Better keep those crickets cheerful,they're really a solemn bunch, farso, farso. I never have the time for lunch. I'd like to meet a turtle, and teach him how to swim, then I have to shine the dew-drops, they're looking rather dim. Meet my friend the robin and buy him a brand new vest. Farso, farso, I never have time to rest.
