The Neglect of My Duties

I hear it said
 That the hardest work is doing nothing
 That's not the sort of thing you hear me say
 I hear it said
 That nothing is impossible
 But nothing is what I do everyday
 If you call me lazy
 I'll just quote John Paul
 It's better to waste your life
 Than to do nothing with it at all.
 ♪
 I'm a gentleman
 with no wish to be snooty
 I devote as much time as I can
 to the neglect of my duties
 I'm a gentleman
 and when I'm feeling fruity
 I devote as much time as I can
 to the neglect of my duties
 He who does nothing
 is seldom in need of helpers
 He who does nothing
 requires but a dressing gown
 My teacher said
 That I wouldn't amount to squiddly diddly
 and I hope I haven't let them down.
 If you call me lazy
 I'd be quite appalled
 It's better to have loafed and lost
 than never to have loafed at all.
