I don't want to work

I don't want to work

I want to stay in bed

I want to drink coffee

and watch TV instead

I want to remain mellow

and enjoy a day off

just for a moment

one day will be enough

and I will be rested

and through with all my sorrow

and I'll be ready to work again

tomorrow

I don't want to work

I want to stay right here

with snacks and books and music

I really need to hear

they can do without me

for at least one day

so I'm going to stay at home

and waste the day away

I have enough money

I don't have to borrow

and I'll be ready to work again

tomorrow

I don't want to work

until the day is through

instead I'd rather be right here

with the likes of you

I will bring you lemonade

I will make it right

and it will continue

all through the night

and we will be happy

miles away from sorrow

and I'll be ready to work again

tomorrow
