The Work Song - The Kingston Trio

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!)
