I Meant To Do My Work Today (a Day In The Country) Lyrics - Elton John

"I meant to do my work today 

The brown bird sang in the apple tree 

I know that's why ... 

And a butterfly flittered accross the field 

And all the leaves were calling me 

And the Buttercups nodded their smiling heads 

Greeting the bees who came to call 

And I asked the lizard the time of day..." 

And the wind went sighing over the land, 

Tossing the grasses to and fro, 

And a rainbow held out its shining hand— 

So what could I do but laugh and go?
