Long ago things to be 
Ive got a garden hose and a color tv 
I've got time on my hands 
I've got time on my hands 
nobody cares what i do 
 
Long ago things to do 
I've got a burnt orange peel and a potato stew 
I've got work to get done 
I've got work to get done 
nobody knows where to run 
 
I've got a quart of milk and some sound advice 
I've got trees to drink 
but they smell so nice 
don't give me the flu 
nobody knows I'm with you 
 
back and forth I dodge a fly 
like a feather in the sky 
write me out a check 
give me all your cash 
nobody knows, so just go home
