Lyrics

[00:00.00]
[00:12.199] We're busy doing nothing
[00:14.409] Working the whole day through
[00:16.559] Trying to find lots of things not to do
[00:20.399] We're busy going nowhere
[00:22.703] Isn't it just a crime?
[00:24.679] We'd like to be unhappy
[00:27.799] But we never do have the time
[00:34.009] I have to watch the river
[00:36.179] To see that it doesn't stop
[00:38.019] And stick around the rosebuds
[00:40.189] So they'll know when to pop
[00:42.349] Better keep the crickets cheerful
[00:44.549] They're really a solemn bunch
[00:46.899] Hustle, bustle
[00:49.669] And only an hour for lunch
[01:04.138] We're busy doing nothing
[01:06.308] Working the whole day through
[01:08.388] Trying to find lots of things not to do
[01:12.299] We're busy going nowhere
[01:14.519] Isn't it just a crime?
[01:16.498] We'd like to be unhappy
[01:19.519] But we never do have the time
[01:25.718] I have to wake the sun up
[01:27.799] He's liable to sleep all day
[01:29.352] (Ture)
[01:29.819] And then inspect the rainbows
[01:32.049] So they'll be bright and gay
[01:34.150] You must rehearse the songbirds
[01:37.540] To see that they sing in key
[01:41.840] (If you insist)
[01:43.420] (I do, by all means)
[01:45.679] Hustle, bustle, and never a moment free
[02:03.287] We're busy doing nothing
[02:05.578] Working the whole day through
[02:07.727] Trying to find lots of things not to do
[02:11.707] We're busy going nowhere
[02:13.948] Isn't it just a crime?
[02:15.788] We'd like to be unhappy
[02:19.000] But we never do have the time
[02:25.250] I have to meet a turtle
[02:27.389] I'm teaching him how to swim
[02:29.349] Then I have to shine the dewdrops
[02:31.539] You know, they're looking rather dim
[02:33.280] (No)
[02:33.690] I told my friend Robin
[02:35.839] I'd buy him a brand new vest
[02:38.360] Hustle, bustle
[02:42.459] We never do have, we never do have
[02:44.579] We never do, never do, never do, never do
[02:46.729] Never do have the time
[02:51.869] Never do have the time!
