Lyrics

When I was a young athletic guy
I'd spend all my time on the beach.
There wasn't a girl didn't catch my eye
Or a lesson that I couldn't teach.
But now those days are over, just so many memories
When life was a field of clover and I was one of the bees.

The days hurry by when you're seventeen
Like so many granules of sand
There's so many things that you haven't seen
And a lot more you don't understand
But life's the greatest teacher who'll keep you on your toes
And when you think you've reached her
You'll find she's a wolf in sheeps clothes

But now that I'm so much more mature
I take life much more leisurely
I've had my fair share of les amour
And she's had her fair share of me.
So give me relaxation and when the weather's fine
See me on vacation, blending time like vintage wine

Lazy old world rolling along
Summer is here, winter has gone
So I'll just laze around and sing me a song

Watching girls go sauntering by
Can't see a thing the sun's in my eye
All I do is simmer and sigh
Won't take the gamble I'm too tired to ramble

Lazy old waves rolling on in
Brauny young men are off for a swim
But I'll just laze around and won't do a thing
Watching girls at play in the sea
Splashing around having a spree
Come on in they're calling to me
I know thet're just teazing that water looks freezing

Lazy old me nothing to do
Ain't got the strength to tie up my shoe
So I'll just laze around and take in the view
Watching girls asleep on the beach
Tawny and brown or pink as a peach
It's a shame they're just out of reach
Oh what a nice dream, sweeter than ice cream

Lazy old clouds sailing along
Summer is here and life is a song
But me I'm just a lazy son of a gun
Lazy old me, tired as can be
Oh lazy old me.
