Not Doing a Thing

I don't feel like doing a thing today
Sounds lazy you may say
I don't care what's been said
Not getting out of this bed

My clothes are wrinkled and hair is messed
Crawled to the loo, not getting dressed
Flopped on the couch, slapped on the TV
Pigging out, swilling beer, getting nothing out of me

Not going to work, not doing a chore
My feet are not hitting the floor
You may say this all sounds crazy
How can a grown man be so lazy

You say this is no way to act
Let me tell you friend this important fact
Here's how I get away with such fooling around
The wife is on business out of town
