《The Sloth》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sloth - Flanders & Swann

[00:00:34] A Bradypus or Sloth am I

[00:00:39] I live a life of ease

[00:00:43] Contented not to do or die

[00:00:48] But idle as I please

[00:00:52] I have three toes on either foot Or half a doz on both

[00:01:02] With leaves and fruits and shoots to eat

[00:01:06] How sweet to be a Sloth

[00:01:12] The world is such a cheerful place

[00:01:16] When viewed from upside-down;

[00:01:21] It makes a rise of every fall

[00:01:25] A smile of every frown;

[00:01:30] I watch the fleeting flutter by

[00:01:34] Of butterfly or moth

[00:01:39] And think of all the things I'd try

[00:01:44] If I were not a Sloth

[00:01:49] I could climb the very highest Himalayas

[00:01:52] Be among the greatest ever tennis players

[00:01:54] Win at chess or marry a Princess or

[00:01:56] Study hard and be an eminent professor

[00:01:58] I could be a millionaire play the clarinet

[00:02:01] Travel everywhere

[00:02:02] Learn to cook catch a crook

[00:02:04] Win a war then write a book about it

[00:02:06] I could paint a Mona Lisa

[00:02:08] I could be another Caesar

[00:02:11] Compose an oratorio that was sublime

[00:02:14] The door's not shut on my genius but

[00:02:18] I just don't have the time

[00:02:24] For days and days among the trees

[00:02:29] I sleep and dream and doze

[00:02:34] Just gently swaying in the breeze

[00:02:38] Suspended by my toes

[00:02:43] While eager beavers overhead

[00:02:47] Rush through the undergrowth

[00:02:52] I watch the clouds beneath my feet;

[00:02:56] How sweet to be a Sloth
