Lazy bums |
After you |
No, after you, Sir |
|
Each morning I roll out of bed around about eleven |
I need a bit of sunshine in to see the light of day |
I open up the shutters, but still can't see the sunshine |
Because a row of buildings is stuck there in my way |
|
I make a cup of coffee and strech on the veranda |
The birds come flying down to keep me company |
They watch me as I lie about and grab a bit of something |
And when I light my cigarette, they sing along with me |
|
Hoopa hoole hoole hoole... hoopa hoopa hoole hoole... |
Hoopa hoole hoole hoopa pa... |
Hoopa hoole hoole... hoopa hoopa hoole hoole... |
Hoopa hoole hoole hoopa pa... |
|
Before you know – it's noon, it's time to do the shopping |
I send the dog to bring the stuff 'cause I'm not in the mood |
Nothing left for us to eat, I have to make some lunch now |
'Cause while I lay about before, the birds ate all our food |
|
Then suddenly, I hear a ring – there must be someone knocking |
My neighbour wants to know if she can join in the fun |
She's ever so polite – she hopes she's not disturbing |
She's here to come along to help me sing my song |
|
Hoopa hoole hoole hoole... hoopa hoopa hoole hoole... |
Hoopa hoole hoole hoopa pa... |
Hoopa hoole hoole... hoopa hoopa hoole hoole... |
Hoopa hoole hoole hoopa pa... |
|
But now it's time to air the dog, the park is where we're going |
Although we're lazy bums, we really should go out |
The birds are there, I find a bench and stretch out very slowly |
'Cause when you think of life, you have to lie about |
|
I think about a life of perfect relaxation |
The only kind of standard I really like to keep |
I sail on troubled water, and care for almost nothing |
But thinking is so tiring, it makes me fall asleep |
|
Hoopa... |
Hoopa hole... hole hoopa... |
Hole hoopa... |
|
Finally, the night has come, the moon is shining brightly |
I need a bit of moonshine to help me end the day |
I open up the shutters, but still can't see the moonshine |
Because a row of buildings is stuck there in my way |
|
Hoopa hoole hoole hoole... hoopa hoopa hoole hoole... |
Hoopa hoole hoole hoopa pa... |
Hoopa hoole hoole... hoopa hoopa hoole hoole... |
Hoopa hoole hoole hoopa pa... |
|
Hoopa hoole hoole hoole... hoopa hoopa hoole hoole... |
Hoopa hoole hoole hoopa pa... |
Hoopa hoole hoole... hoopa hoopa hoole hoole... |
Hoopa hoole hoole hoopa pa... |
|
Hoopa hoole... hole hoopa... |
We're the bums |
Hole hoopa... |
