I hear it said That the hardest work is doing nothing That's not the sort of thing you hear me say I hear it said That nothing is impossible But nothing is what I do everyday If you call me lazy I'll just quote John Paul It's better to waste your life Than to do nothing with it at all. I'm a gentleman With no wish to be snooty I devote as much time as I can To the neglect of my duties I'm a gentleman And when I'm feeling fruity I devote as much time as I can To the neglect of my duties He who does nothing Is seldom in need of helpers He who does nothing Requires but a dressing gown My teacher said That I wouldn't amount to squiddly diddly And I hope I haven't let them down. If you call me lazy I'd be quite appalled It's better to have loafed and lost Than never to have loafed at all. I'm a gentleman With no wish to be snooty I devote as much time as I can To the neglect of my duties I'm a gentleman And when I'm feeling fruity I devote as much time as I can To the neglect of my duties I'm a gentleman With no wish to be snooty I devote as much time as I can To the neglect of my duties I'm a gentleman And when I'm feeling fruity I devote as much time as I can To the neglect of my duties (I'm a gentleman) (With no wish to be snooty) (I devote as much time as I can) (To the neglect of my duties) (I'm a gentleman) (And when I'm feeling fruity) (I devote as much time as I can) (To the neglect of my duties)
