Lazybones get off the couch
Your house is burning down
And you’re smoking cigarettes
Please tell me the secret why
You’re laid up on the couch
Do you know or did you forget?
Lazybones get out of bed
It’s raining cats and dogs
Your clothes are soaking wet
Are you OK today or not?
I think that you mean no
Whenever you say yes
And when you think that I have had my fill
Of your secret thoughts tell me another still
And when you think that I’m sick of you being ill
Tell me another and another still
Tell me another and another still
You don’t have to spare me anything at all
And you never will
Tell me another and another still
If you don’t want me telling anyone
Then I never will
Once I knew a girl and she
Was good at Rubik’s cube
And loved Monopoly
Now that girl is only good
At sitting on the couch
And voicing complaints to me
Tell me why you never feel
Like going out with me
The way we used to do
I’m not mad and we can do
Whatever you feel like
Depending on your mood
And when you think that I have had my fill
Of your secret thoughts tell me another still
And when you think that I’m sick of you being ill
Tell me another and another still
Tell me another and another still
You don’t have to spare me anything at all
And you never will
Tell me another and another still
If you don’t want me telling anyone
Then I never will
