Wouldn't it be nice To get on with me neighbors But they make it very clear They've got no room for ravers They stop me from groovin' They bang on me wall They doing me crust in It's no good at all Lazy Sunday afternoon I got no mind to worry I close my eyes and drift away Here we all are sittin' in a rainbow Gore blimey hello Mrs Jones How's old Bert's lumbago (mustn't grumble) I'll sing you a song With no words and no tune To sing in your party While you suss-out the moon Lazy Sunday afternoon I got no mind to worry Close my eyes and drift away Root-de-doo-de-doo Root-de-doot-de die day Root-de doot de dumb Root-de-doo-de-doo dee There's no one to hear me There's nothing to say And no one can stop me From feelin' this way Lazy Sunday afternoon I've got no mind to worry Close my eyes and drift away
