Lazy Lyrics - Irving Berlin

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 

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 

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
