Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [Sound of a hoe hitting the ground: Clang! Clang!] [Spoken] Stop and listen to this tale... In the journey of life, you see it all. Some folks work hard, and some are masters of doin' nothing. Turn it up! [Verse 1] I took a job but I didn't know how to hoe, Swingin' that blade, movin' way too slow. I was diggin' holes just to watch the grass grow, The man next to me said, "Son, you’re a show!" And he started callin' me "The Grave"... you know? [Chorus] [High Energy] Look at the nicknames that we earned today: I’m "The Grave", and those two over there... Are "The Dying Guy" and "Already Dead"! Tomorrow I’ll do it, tomorrow maybe... There’s always a tomorrow for the work we don't do, baby! [Verse 2] There was the Big Eater, only thinkin' 'bout lunch, And the other thirsty guy, the laziest of the bunch! He said "I'm goin' for water", but he found a tree, The shade called his name and he fell asleep, you see! [Spoken Dialogue] [Background: Harmonica playing softly] Boss: "Hey, Already Dead! Get up! And where's the guy who went for water?" Voice from afar: "Take it easy, boss... I'm hydratin'! We'll kill these weeds tomorrow." [Verse 3] But there was one master of the "bathroom break", He’d say "I’ll be right back", for goodness sake! It was all a trick, a lazy man’s plan... Hidin' in the stall, avoidin' the land! Only showin' up when the shift was done! [Bridge] [Stop] [Spoken - Deep Voice] Boss: "Listen up, boys: TOMORROW IS THE DAY RESERVED FOR THE LAZY MAN'S WORK!" [Drum Fill] [Chorus] [Max Energy] Look at the nicknames that we earned today: I’m "The Grave", "The Dying Guy", and "Already Dead"! Tomorrow I’ll do it, tomorrow maybe... There’s always a tomorrow for the work we don't do! [Outro] [Laughter] [Spoken] "I’m headin' out now, boss! We'll finish it tomorrow!" [Banjo Solo] [Fade out] [End]
