Lyrics The Work Song - 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.
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.
(Oh, yeah!)
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.
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!)
