There Is Something About Nothing To Do

There is something about nothing to do When all your work is through The chore list finished with nothing new With no one expecting any more from you There is something about nothing to do Nowhere to go, no lawn to mow No sheets to fold, ducks in a row No errands to run, no uninvited to shun No favors for hun, look pal your done Nothing to do except what you want to Write that poem stuck in your head Visit your favorite uncle Fred Open that book you forgot to read Seeing that movie you wanted to see Go out on a random date Count the stars when it's late Or relax and take off your shoes Play old records of Rock and Blues There is something about nothing to do With extra time you can't lose Even if you just nod off and snooze.
