lirik lagu flanders swann - the sloth
a bradypus, or sloth, am i,
i live a life of ease
contented not to do or die,
but idle as i please
i have three toes on either foot, or half a doz. on
both
with leaves and fruits, and shoots to eat,
how sweet to be a sloth
the world is such a cheerful place
when viewed from upside-down;
it makes a rise of every fall,
a smile of every frown;
i watch the fleeting flutter by
of b-tterfly or moth
and think of all the things i’d try
if i were not a sloth.
i could climb the very highest himalayas,
be among the greatest ever tennis players,
win at chess or marry a princess or
study hard and be an eminent professor.
i could be a millionaire, play the clarinet,
travel everywhere,
learn to cook, catch a crook,
win a war then write a book about it.
i could paint a mona lisa,
i could be another caesar.
compose an oratorio that was sublime.
the door’s not shut on my genius but
i just don’t have the time!
for days and days among the trees
i sleep and dream and doze
just gently swaying in the breeze
suspended by my toes
while eager beavers overhead
rush through the undergrowth
i watch the clouds beneath my feet;
how sweet to be a sloth.
