Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle-bugs are zoomin'
And the tulip trees are bloomin'
And there's not another human in view
But us two
[Verse 2]
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reapin'
In the meadows, cows are sleepin'
And the speckled trout stop leapin' up stream
As we dream
[Verse 3]
A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still
You could hear the grass as it grows
[Verse 4]
It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet
Except for daisies runnin' riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me
Written by: Jerome Moross, Latouche
