Hopefully no one is working....and if you are in the mountains (for example, the Big Rock Candy Mountains) you are lying back in a hammock...sawing logs
Oh...............
One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
He said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm heading for a land that's far away
Beside the crystal fountain
I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
cho: Oh, the buzzing of the bees in the cigarette trees,
By the soda water fountain
Near the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
On the Big Rock Candy Mountain
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain,
It's a land that's fair and bright,
The handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night.
The boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall and the winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
You never change your socks
And little streams of alky-hol
Come trickling down the rocks
O the shacks all have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and gingerale too
And you can paddle all around it in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
The cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The box-cars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall and the winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
The jails are made of tin
You can slip right out again
As soon as they put you in
There ain't no short-handled shovels
No axes, saws nor picks
I'm bound to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

Relax Spotly, just thinking about being tired is too much work. As the latin saying goes Cogito ergo tired.
Here is another....
Lazy Bones, by Hoagy Carmichael
Long as there is chicken gravy on your rice,
Ev'rything is nice.
Long as there's watermelon on the vine,
Ev'rything is fine.
You got no time to work,
You got no time to play,
Busy doin' nothin' all the live long day.
You won't ever change no matter what I say,
You're just made that way.
Lazybones, Sleepin' in the sun,
How you 'spec' to get your day's work
done?
You'll never get your day's work done,
Sleepin' in the noonday sun.
Lazybones, sleepin' in the shade,
How you 'spec' to get your corn meal
made?
Never get your corn meal made
Sleepin' in the evenin' shade.
When 'taters need sprayin',
I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you fo fishin'
I bet you keep wishin'
The fish won't grab at your line.
Lazybones, loafin' thru the day,
Now you 'spec' to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
(Well looky here)
He never heard a word I say!

One more....
Santa Lucia
Now 'neath the silver moon,
Ocean is glowing,
O'er the calm billow,
Soft winds are blowing
Here balmy zephyrs blow,
Pure joys invite us,
And as we gently row,
All things delight us.
Hark how the sailor's cry
Joyously echoes nigh:
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!
Home of fair poesy,
Realm of pure harmony,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!
When o'er thy waters,
light winds are playing
Thy spell can soothe us,
all care allaying;
To thee sweet Napoli,
what charms are given;
Where smiles creation,
toil blest by heaven.
Hark how the sailor's cry
Joyously echoes nigh:
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!
Home of fair poesy,
Realm of pure harmony,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!
