The Kingston Trio

The Work Song

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.

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. T

hat'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!)

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!)
