Just a Touch of Spring Fever

I decided to become an eccentric Appear a little bit off Maybe a little ill With a little bit of a cough Keep a little distant A little bit alone Sort of like a hermit Disconnect the phone Do just what I want Just what I like Do a little drawing Take a little hike Sleep in the garden Frolic with the bees Wade in the brook Maybe talk to the trees When the alarm for work I hear I know as an eccentric I have failed If I do not pay my bills I could be sued and jailed That's a little more eccentric Than I want to be I dream of being eccentric But it's off to work for me

"I dream of being eccentric" I think a little part of everyone feels that way sometimes; just to shrug off everything that's expected of us, and start marching to whatever cadence our drum is beating on that day.
