Busy Doing Nothing
Sung by Bing Crosby, William Bendix and Cedric Hardwicke
Music by Jimmy Van Heusen (as James Van Heusen)
Lyrics by Johnny Burke
From Soundtrack for
"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" 1949
ALL:
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
ALL:
We're busy doin' nothin'
Workin' the whole day through
Tryin' to find lots of things not to do
We're busy goin' nowhere
Isn't it just a crime
We'd like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time
CEDRIC HARDWICKE:
I have to watch the river
To see that it doesn't stop
And stick around the rosebuds
So they'll know when to pop
BING CROSBY:
Better keep the crickets cheerful
They're really a solemn bunch
ALL:
Hustle, bustle
WILLIAM BENDIX:
And only an hour for lunch
ALL:
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(CROSBY: Ah! Shall we procede?)
ALL:
We're busy doin' nothin'
Workin' the whole day through
Tryin' to find lots of things not to do
We're busy going nowhere
Isn't it just a crime
We'd like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time
BENDIX:
I have to wake the Sun up
He's liable to sleep all day
(CROSBY: Taroo)
And then inspect the rainbows
So they'll be bright and gay
CROSBY & HARDWICKE:
You must rehearse the songbirds
To see that they sing in key
(BENDIX: If you insist)
(CROSBY: I dust, I dust)
ALL:
Hustle, bustle
And never a moment free
ALL:
We're busy doin' nothin'
Workin' the whole day through
Tryin' to find lots of things not to do
We're busy going nowhere
Isn't it just a crime
We'd like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time
(CROSBY: Going to the game?)
CROSBY:
I have to meet a turtle
I'm teachin' him how to swim
Then I have to shine the dewdrops
You know they're looking rather dim
(BENDIX: No!)
I told my friend, the robin
I'd buy him a brand new vest
ALL:
Hustle, bustle
CROSBY:
I wish I could take a rest
BENDIX:
Tryin' to find lots of things not to do
HARDWICKE:
Isn't it just a crime
CROSBY:
We'd better make it snappy
There's another hill to climb
ALL:
We'd like to be unhappy, but
CROSBY:
We never do have
HARDWICKE: We never do have
BENDIX: We never do, never do
ALL:
Never do, never do, never do have the time
Never do have the time
