[Intro]
G7    C     G      Em       Am7      D7       G
La-la-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
G7    C     G      Em       Am7      D7       G
La-la-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la


[Chorus]
      G    G+    G6   G7   Am7         A7-5      D7    D#aug
We're busy doin' noth-ing, Workin' the whole day through
Em  D   Am G    Am   D  Em     D   Am G   D7    G    G+    G6 G7
Try-in' to find lots of things not to do, We're busy goin' no-where
Am7      A7-5   D7  D#aug       Em      C     G      Em      Am7      D9
Isn't it just a crime,     We'd like to be unhappy, but, We never do have the time

[Verse]
  Em      A7        D         Em7         A7      D          Em      A7        D
I have to watch the river, To see that it doesn't stop, And stick around the rosebuds
    Em7         A7         Am7 D7    G        Em       Am7   D            Am7      D7  D#aug Em 
  G7
So they'll know when to pop,     And keep the crickets cheer-ful, They're really a sol-emn   
bunch
C       G   Em       Am7     D7       G    D7
Hustle, bus-tle, And only an hour for lunch

G7    C     G      Em       Am7      D7       G
La-la-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

I have to wake the Sun up, He's liable to sleep all day, And then inspect the rainbows
   Em         A7         Am7 D7 G        Em       Am7   D            Am7      D7  D#aug Em   G7
So they'll be bright and gay, I must rehearse the songbirds, To see that they sing in   key
C       G   Em       Am7     D7       G    D7
Hustle, bustle, And never a moment free

I have to meet a turtle, I'm teachin' him how to swim, Then I have to shine the dewdrops
 Em              A7     Am7 D7 G       Em          Am7 D      Am7       D7  D#aug Em   G7
 they're looking rather dim, I told my friend, the robin, I'd buy him a brand new vest
C       G   Em    Am7          D7     G    D7
Hustle, bustle, I wish I could take a rest


[Chorus]

Isn't it just a crime,     We'd better make it snappy, There's another hill to climb
G7   C            G      Em      Am7      D7       G
We'd like to be unhappy, but, We never do have the time
