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... |
