LAZY MORNING
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1972


Another lazy mornin'
No need to get down on anyone
My son, coffee's in the kitchen
Woman on the run.

No need to get bothered
I'll think about Monday when Monday comes
It's two for one, mister hoot 'n holler
Got to make a dollar.

Another lazy mornin'
I took time to make town and stock a pint or two
The most delicious brew
Keeping up with the Joneses
I hope no one telephones us.

I'd take a place in the country
But for now the old back yard
Looks to me like fifty acres
Of the roundest ground in town.

Another lazy mornin'
Come suppertime I'm gonna light my barbecue
Nothin' new, only that she loves me 
And nothing I know can change me.

No need to get bothered
I do more livin' than it might seem
Some dream, livin' like a pauper
Bless my darlin' daughter.

I'd like to know what makes a man go
Over land and sea
I guess it must get kind of lonesome
That's the way I used to be.

Another lazy mornin'
No need to get down on anyone
Such fun, coffee's in the kitchen
Woman on the run.
