Jon Smith's Voyages - I'll Get Around to It Lyrics

Biding my time still living at home
My youth is something I wish I could save
But lately I've been growing up
And my folks say I'm too lazy for my age

Telling me I've got to get a job
Or pretty soon they're gonna kick me out
Deep inside I know they're right
But I still find these words leaving my mouth

Ooh I'll get around to it
But I really don't want to do it
Oh I'm putting it off as long as I can
Don't expect no grownups to understand 'cause they're not stuck in quicksand
But it's all part of the plan

Finally got a full time job
But working this hard really ain't much fun
Breaking my back for a couple of bucks
While the big rich guys just sit on their bums

Don't think I'll ever escape
But I'm growing wearier every day
Got a list of tasks to complete
But when I look it over I always say

Ooh I'll get around to it
But I really don't want to do it
Oh I'm putting it off as long as I can
Don't expect no rich boy to understand 'cause he's got clean hands
But it's all part of the plan

Finally old enough to retire
After 45 years of blood and sweat
But still I can't sit back and relax
'Cause my family wants to prepare for my death

Telling me I've got to write my will
Before it's too late I better do it now
Gotta decide who gets what
But I just look at them and growl

Ooh I'll get around to it
But I really don't want to do it
Oh I'm putting it off as long as I can
Don't expect no young boy to understand 'cause he thinks life is grand
But it's all part of the plan
