Hans Theessink
recording of 1995
from
Crazy Moon (RFR 1016)
Mama's in the kitchen
Baking up some ice-cream pie
Papa's on the river fishing
Fish are so lazy they won't bite
I'm lying in the shade
Watch a lonely cloud drift by
Lazy, long hot summer's day
Lazy, just pass the time away
Feel like doing nothing
In this angry summer heat
Just get high on the smell of honeysuckle
Intoxicating sweet
And watch the river flow
As she winds her lonely way down to the sea
Lazy, long hot summer's day
Lazy, just pass the time away
Can't play a lick
My fingers just won't move no more
My guitar plays a tune
That I've never ever heard her play before
It's her own sweet composition
She don't seem to trust my brain no more
Lazy, long hot summer's day
Lazy, just pass the time away
__________
Note 1: honeysuckle, any of various plants (as a columbine or azalea) with tubular flowers rich in nectar, see
