Lyrics
DONT WANT TO WORK
I was feeling tired this morning and I didn't want to go to work
I was feeling tired this morning and I didn't want to go to work
No matter how hard I try,
just seem to get worse and worse
The kids need new clothes and our leaky roof needs a little fixin'
The kids need new clothes and our leaky roof needs a little fixin'
I'm just doing the best I can
...and driftin' and driftin'
Now I don't want to work
Just wanna have some fun
Now I don't want to work
Just wanna have some fun
Take a long long vacation
And pretend I'm number one
The fam's counting on me
And I don't want to let ''em down
The fam's depending on me
And I don't want to let ''em down
I just need to pull myself up
Cause the world goes round and round
Now I don't want to work
Just wanna have some fun
Now I don't want to work
Just wanna have some fun
Take a long long vacation
And pretend I'm number one
