The Work Song

Kingston Trio


I don't like to work but i got to. when my friends ask for
Advice, i tell them not to.
I'm gonna move way down south where it's too hot to, 'cause i
Don't like to work.
Chorus:
It's not just because i'm lazy. it's not just because i'm crazy.
The reason from the bottom of my heart, i don't like it 'cause
I'm too damn smart.

Well, you can work 'till you're too old. you don't have to.
That's the kind of logic i just give a laugh to.
When they find out doing nothing is a craft, too, then i'll go
Back to work. (oh, yeah!) (chorus)

Well, you can work 'till you're too old. you don't have to.
That's the kind of logic i just give a laugh to.
When they find out doing nothing is a craft, too, then i'll go
Back to work. (come on, let's get started!)
I'll go back to work. (oh, yeah!)
