Lively Arts

I'm gonna stay in bed all day

I'm not gonna hear a word you say

It's gonna be a life of style for me

Electric blankets, pillows, fire and TV



Take a look outside

Those lively arts are on the slide

And culture's just a bore

When you're angry young and poor

And if I got my way

Those idle rich would pay

When the discussion starts

On the lively arts



I'm gonna be a lazy slob

Sod the folks and sod the job

And tell the foreman that I'm ill

And in a week I'll be here still

Yes I will



Take a look outside

Those lively arts are on the slide

And culture's just a bore

When you're angry young and poor

And if I got my way

Those idle rich would pay

When the discussion starts

On the lively arts
