Busy Doing Nothing Lyrics

We're busy doing nothing, working all day through,
We're trying to find lots of things not to do.
We're busy going nowhere, isn't it such 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,
And stick around the rosebuds so they'll know when to pop.
Better keep those crickets cheerful, they're really a solemn bunch,
Farso, farso. I never have the time for lunch.

I'd like to meet a turtle, and teach him how to swim,
Then I have to shine the dew-drops, they're looking rather dim.
Meet my friend the robin and buy him a brand new vest.
Farso, farso, I never have time to rest.
