Busy

I’m busy – busy – busy – always busy being busy,
Busy – busy – busy – always busy as could be.
While I’m busy – busy – busy – always busy being busy
I don’t find the time to find time –

I’m always running here or there – there or here or anywhere –
Always up against the clock – I block things out.
I’m always sticking one more thing into my schedule, and I think
Maybe time will stretch — so I can get around to everything.

I’m busy – busy – busy – always busy being busy,
Busy – busy – busy – always busy as could be.
While I’m busy – busy – busy – always busy being busy,
I don’t find the time to find time -

I’m always in a hurry. I scurry and I worry,
Always huff and puff, I cannot do enough.
I spend, so I can earn – I earn, so I can spend –
I run and run and run and when I’m done –
I’m where I started from.

I’m busy – busy – busy – always busy being busy,
Busy – busy – busy – always busy as could be.
While I’m busy – busy – busy – always busy being busy,
I don’t find the time to find time -

There’s no way I can do all the things I need to do.
So here’s what I’ve decided to do:

I’m taking off a day to play – another day to get away.
I’m taking off a day or two – to spend with you.
My pile of work will still be there when I return, but I don’t care.
Tomorrow is another day when I  can say:

I’m busy – busy – busy – always busy being busy,
Busy – busy – busy – always busy as could be.
While I’m busy – busy – busy – always busy being busy,
I don’t find the time to find time — for you —
I don’t find the time to find time — for me —
I don’t find the time to find time — for you and me.
