I Can't Be Bothered Now

Bad news, go away

Call `round someday

In March or May

I can't be bothered nowMy bonds and shares

May fall downstairs

Who cares, who cares

I'm dancing andI can't be bothered now

I'm up among the stars

On earthly things I frown

I'm throwing off the barsThat held me down

I'll pay the piper

When times are riper

Just now, I shan'tBecause you see I'm dancing and

I can't be bothered nowI'm up among the stars

On earthly things I frown

I'm throwing off the bars

That held me downI'll pay the piper

When times are riper

Just now, I shan't

Because you see I'm dancing andI can't be bothered now
