IDLER

I take my tortoise for a walk

I don't hurry

And I don't rush

I stop for a little talk

I don't worry

And I don't fuss

I come out when the sun shines

Lie in my hammock

And sip a glass of wine

Cos I'm an idler

And I take my time

I'm at the pub for a quiet drink

I don't hurry

And I don't rush

I need to stop for a little think

I don't worry

And I don't fuss

Hail fellow well met

Pardon me while I roll a cigarette

Cos I'm an idler

And I take my time

Some people say I'm a layabout

But that's just ridiculous

They're just envious

I love freedom

Fun and responsibility

I live my life at the pace of a snail

Sit in my garden

And pour a glass of ale

Cos I'm an idler

And I'm doing fine
