about

This song was a total waste of my time. I hope you enjoy wasting your time while listening. Whistle along and play air marimba if you like.

lyrics

Time to Waste Time
By Todd Burge ©2015 Bunj Jam BMI

Spring is here the bugs have come
It’s time to dumb it down
My head is filled with morning mist
The moss is boss for now

My list of things to do has been
Misplaced someplace unknown
It could be lost forever now
Unread, un-shown and thrown
Away

I’m off in my mind, out of my head
I’m off in my mind, out of my head
Time to waste time

With so much time on my hands
Most doors need to be opened for me
I’m leisurely and out to please
Just me, myself,
And me
I’ll work for food, if the work is easy
And if the food is good
Cause Spring is here and the bugs have come
And I couldn’t care if I could
Chorus
Forever more’s been around the bend
Since before the bend was invented
Since Father Time asked his dad for a dime
and the keys to his Buick
Some teen whoopee was in the offing
In that big fat back seat
The key to life lies neatly within
Father Time’s time in….
That… back…. Seat..

I’m off in my mind, out of my head
I’m off in my mind, out of my head
Ready, or not ready yet
Time to waste time
