Aurora Hayes - Stop Lollygaggin' and Get It Done Lyrics

Sun's up high, and the chores ain't done,
Dad's on the porch, with a job for everyone.
I'm dragging my feet, taking my time,
But Dad's got that look, and it's clear as a rhyme.
Stop lollygaggin' and get it done,
There's work to do before you have fun.
Roll up your sleeves, don't waste the day,
Stop lollygaggin', if you wanna get out and play.
The grass needs mowing, the fence needs paint,
But I'm just standing here, full of complaints.
Dad hands me the tools, with a knowing grin,
"Get to work, let's begin."
Stop lollygaggin' and get it done,
There's work to do before you have fun.
Roll up your sleeves, don't waste the day,
Stop lollygaggin', if you wanna get out and play.
With a groan and a sigh, I pick up the rake,
Thinking 'bout the fun, and the break I'll take.
Dad's words echo, in the back of my mind,
"Hard work first, then fun you'll find."
The chores get done, one by one,
Sweat on my brow, but now it's fun.
Dad pats my back, says, "You got it done,"
Now go out and play, have some fun."
Stop lollygaggin' and get it done,
There's work to do before you have fun.
Roll up your sleeves, don't waste the day,
Stop lollygaggin', if you wanna get out and play.
So when there's work to do, don't delay,
Stop lollygaggin', get on your way.
Finish your tasks, then have your fun,
Stop lollygaggin', and get it done.
