| Lyrics:Irving Berlin Music:Irving Berlin Arranger:Paul Weston | |
| [1st verse:] | |
| Ev'ry time | |
| I see a puppy upon a summer's day | |
| A puppy dog at play | |
| My heart is filled with envy | |
| That's because | |
| My heart is yearning to pass the time away | |
| Like that pup | |
| 'Cause I'm all fed up | |
| And tho' it's wrong to be | |
| I long to be | |
| [chorus:] | |
| Lazy | |
| I want to be lazy | |
| I want to be out in the sun | |
| With no work to be done | |
| Under that awning | |
| They call the sky | |
| Stretching and yawning | |
| And let the world go drifting by | |
| I want to peep | |
| Through the deep | |
| Tangled wildwood | |
| Counting sheep | |
| 'Til I sleep | |
| Like a child would | |
| With a great big valise full | |
| Of books to read where it's peaceful | |
| While I'm | |
| Killing time | |
| Being lazy | |
| [2nd verse:] | |
| Life is short | |
| And getting shorter with each day that goes by | |
| And how the time does fly | |
| Before you know, it's over | |
| That's why I'm | |
| In such a hurry to pack my things and fly | |
| To a spot | |
| Where it's nice and hot | |
| And hear the birdies sing | |
| While I'm being |
