Ella Fitzgerald Lazy Lyrics

Lazy Lyrics

[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
