The Empty Tidy-Bag Blues Lyrics by The Wombles

The Best Wombles Album So Far, Volume One

0

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning
Feeling pretty good
Bolted down my breakfast and went out into the woods
I couldn't see any paper
Lying around the place
Six o'clock this evening, I was really in disgrace

[Chorus]
Aw, yeah, I got the empty tidy-bag blues
Aw, yeah, I got the empty tidy-bag blues
Well, I've been sleeping on the job, and I wish I had a better excuse

[Verse 2]
Well, went down to the windmill
To find myself a seat
To shut my eyes and take the weight from off my feet
I wasn't looking forward to working all day
I hate to think what Great-Uncle Bulgaria would say

[Chorus]
Aw, yeah, I got the empty tidy-bag blues
Aw, yeah, I got the empty tidy-bag blues
Well, I've been sleeping on the job, and I wish I had a better excuse
Ooh

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
I wrote myself a letter
I put it in the post
It said, "Dear Orinoco, you are lazier than most"
I opened up the letter
I knew that it was true
So I went back to sleep again, it seemed the thing to do

[Chorus]
I got the empty tidy-bag blues
Aw, yeah, I got the empty tidy-bag blues
Well, I've been sleeping on the job, and I wish I had a better excuse
