BARNARDO Your views of me are quite beyond the pale You assume I lead a life of total rest When my day to day existence is a tale Of neverending drive and zest I hardly have a second I can truly call my own It seems that every thirty minutes another hour has flown The older you become the more you recognize the fact One has little time to meditate and even less to act If you stagnate and semi-slumber You shall never make your mark No slacker has succeeded Since the days of Noah's ark I can't exceed my alotted span No matter how I try But I've quite enough to do Until I die So you see how important And imperative Significant and vital Is each second that we live We must understand the gravity Our lives will be futility If we take More than we can give MAN Them's just words And we don't know If they're true CHORUS When you ain't talkin Jus' what else Can you do? BARNARDO I have books to read on medicine Theology and law There's a world I want to see I want to know what life is for I have hopes I have ambitions I'll achieve them if I can There's so much I want to do I'm a very busy man MAN I'm a very busy man And so when every day begins I makes me out a list Of me most essential sins From the catalog advice I choose me favorite for the fall It's enough for the day I never feel like any more BARNARDO I am frankly unimpressed by your attitude I am not convinced that you are on the ball You could do worse than show a glimmering of gratitude For the fact that you're alive at all I am a very busy man I have no time to throw away I need twenty seven hours or more In every working day My hour to hour arrangements Are a copmlicated squeeze I do many things I have to do In twos or even threes I hardly have the time To justify myself to you There are many more important things That I could find to do Time never waits And it's never on my side My every waking moment Must be fully occupied [Thanks to Daniel King for lyrics]
