Lyrics
KEEP EM' OCCUPIED By Jim Anderson
YOU SEE PEOPLE TALKING ON CELL PHONES (CAPO 1ST)
OR TEXTING THEIR BEST FRIENDS Em G A---D
LET'S ORDER THE MAXIMUM CHANNELS ALL VERSES
ON OUR BIG SCREEN T.V. SETS
(CHORUS)
CAUSE I WANNA__ STAY__ OCCUPIED ( C G D )
OR I MIGHT__ GET TOO BORED ( C G D )
SOMETHING TO OCCUPY MY TIME ( C G D )
EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY__YEAH, YEAH, YEAH (BACK TO Em G A D)
YOU SEE IT ON EVERY COMMERCIAL
TAKE YOURSELF ON VACATION
BECAUSE, YOU DESERVE TO GET AWAY
CALL NOW AND DON'T DELAY
IT'S SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU BUSY
KEEP YOU MOVIN' ALL THE TIME
YOU HATE TO HAVE ANY DOWN TIME
YOU GOTTA KEEP EM' OCCUPIED
(CHORUS)
HURRY ON UP THROUGH THE DRIVE THROUGH
WORK LATE AND ORDER TAKE OUT
DOIN' SOMETHING EVERY MINUTE, HEY_
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
SHAVE ON YOUR WAY TO THE OFFICE
WATCH A D.V.D IN YOUR S.U.V.
CHECK YOUR STOCK'S BEFORE YOU GO TO BED
WITH YOU'RE ROUND THE CLOCK INTERNET
(CHORUS)X2
