| CHORUS: We're busy doing nothing, working the whole day through, | |
| Trying to find lots of things not to do. | |
| We're busy going nowhere. Isn't it just 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, | |
| Then stick around the rosebuds, so they'll know when to pop. | |
| Better keep the crickets cheerful. They're really a solemn bunch. | |
| Hustle, bustle, and only an hour for lunch. CHORUS | |
| I have to wake the sun up, he's liable to sleep all day. | |
| And then inspect the rainbows, so they'll be bright and gay. | |
| You must rehearse the songbirds, to see that they sing in key. | |
| Hustle, bustle, and never a moment free. CHORUS | |
| I have to meet a turtle. I'm teaching him how to swim. | |
| Then I have to shine the dewdrops. You know, they're looking rather dim. | |
| I told my friend the robin I'd buy him a brand new vest. | |
| Hustle, bustle, I wish I could take a rest. | |
| LAST CHORUS: ... Trying to find lots of things not to do. | |
| ... Isn't it just a crime? | |
| We'd better make it snappy. There's another hill to climb. | |
| We'd like to be unhappy but we never do have, we never do have, | |
| We never do, never do, never do, never do, | |
| Never do have the time, | |
| Never do have the time |
