Lazy Life
Quintin E. Klopjaeger & The Gonks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Catching butterflies before it gets too dark
Picking chestnuts in a shady wood
With the one you love it makes you feel so good
Listen I know
The place is kind of slow
But it's the kind of lazy life I love
Taking fishing from a wooden bridge
Watching ducks as they try to catch the fish
Peace at last I think I found my place
Oh I love this kind and I'm a heavy face
Listen I know
The place is kind of slow
But it's the kind of lazy life I love
It's the kind of lazy life I love
No no you won't believe it's true (You won't believe it's true)
So go and find out for yourself, yes do
You won't believe it's true
Little children playing in the dark
Catching butterflies before it gets too dark
Picking chestnuts in a shady wood
With the one you love it makes you feel so good
Listen I know
The place is kind of slow
But it's the kind of lazy life I love
It's the kind of lazy life I love
Kind of lazy life I love
Oh yeah
Oh so lazy
Oh so lazy
