Laid Songtext
von Loudon Wainwright III

Living on an island, in an ocean
Livin′ on an island in the sea
We're walkin′ around, surrounded by water
Living on an island, you and me

A couple of kids in a hammock
One on a swing hung on the same tree
Hey, I'm on a lawnmower, you're folding laundry
Livin′ on an island, you and me


A jigsaw puzzle helps quell the boredom
When the rain came we played a board game on the island

Back on the mainland, they′re goin' crazy
I′m getting too old for that insanity
A meal or a movie, not much can move me
From off of the island in the sea

A jigsaw puzzle hеlps quell the boredom
Whеn the rain came we played a board game on the island


Livin' on an island in an ocean
Livin′ on an island in the sea
We're walkin′ around, surrounded by water
Livin' on an island, you and me
