the brothers four – sloth lyrics
[verse 1]
a bradypus or sloth, am i
i live a life of ease
contended not to do or die
but idle as i please
i have three toes on either foot
or half a dozen both
with leaves and fruits and shoots to eat
how sweet to be a sloth
[verse 2]
the world is such a cheerful place
when viewed from upside down
it makes a rise of every fall
a smile of every frown
i watch the fleeting flutter by
a b+tterfly and moth
and think of all the things i’d try
if i were not a sloth
[bridge]
oh, i could climb the very highest himalayas
be among thе greatest evеr tennis players
win at chess or marry a princess
or study hard and be an eminent professor
i could be a millionaire
play the clarinet, travel everywhere
learn to cook or catch a crook
win a war then write a book about it
i could paint a mona lisa
i could be another cæsar
compose an oratorio that was sublime
oh, the door’s not shut on my g+nius
but i just don’t have the time
[verse 3]
for days and days among the trees
i sleep and dream and doze (oh, yes, i doze)
just gently swaying in the breeze
suspended by my toes
while eager beavers overhead
rush through the undergrowth
i watch the clouds beneath my feet
how sweet to be a sloth
[outro]
i could paint a mona lisa (while eager beavers overhead)
i could be another cæsar
compose an oratorio that was sublime (rush through the undergrowth)
the door’s not shut on my g+nius
but i just don’t have the time
no, i just don’t have the time
no, he just don’t have the time
he’s nothing but a bloomin’ sloth
