ELTON JOHN - I Meant To Do My Work Today (A Day in the Country) lyrics

rate me

"I meant to do my work today

The brown bird sang in the apple tree

I know that's why ....

And a butterfly flittered accross the field

And all the leaves were calling me

And the Buttercups nodded their smiling heads

Greeting the bees who came to call

And I asked the lizard the time of day....."

And the wind went sighing over the land,

Tossing the grasses to and fro,

And a rainbow held out its shining hand—

So what could I do but laugh and go?
