Loafin' Time Songtext
von Fats Waller and His Rhythm

Loafin′ time, I can't do a thing
Summertime just brings me down
Diamonds on a lazy stream
All I want to do is dream

It′s loafin' time, by a swimmin' hole
With my fishin′ pole I found
All the world′s a happy rhyme, yas
Happy 'cause it′s loafin' time


I just love this lazy way of livin′
Don't you know that doin′ nothin' ain't no sin
If it is, I hope that I′m forgiven
′Cause I got nothin' to do, a
nd I got all day to do it in. so I′m takin' my time because it′s--

Loafin' time, I′m the happy one
I'm following the sun around around around around
I'm content as long as I′m,
Loafin′ 'round at loafin′ time

(Solos)

I just love this lazy way of livin'
Doin′ nothin' ain′t no sin
If it is I hope that I'm forgiven
'Cause I got nothin′ to do, and I got all day to do it in


Oh, loafin′ time, I'm the happy one
Following the sun around around around around
I′m content as long as I'm,
Loafin′ 'round at loafin′ time
