LYRICS 🎤:

I was lying in the grass.

I was whistling a tune.

I was feeling too lazy,

too lazy to move.

I was looking at the butterflies,

and playing the guitar.

I was putting up the tent,

and fetching bags from the car.

(Bridge)

Look, it's getting dark.

Now I can see the moon.

Time is going fast,

and there's still so much to do.

(Chorus)

Me and my dog

sitting in the fog

on a lazy camping trip.

Sing this song

the whole day long

on a lazy camping trip with you.

With you.

I was sitting writing postcards,

singing a song or two.

I was feeling too lazy

to put on my shoes.

I was eating lots of cereal,

and looking at the fog.

I was feeling too lazy

to go and walk the dog.

(Bridge)

(Chorus x2)
