Lyrics of Busy man

(bob regan/george teren)

There's a little boy out in the driveway
His basketball in hand
Saying daddy could we play a little one on one
You pat him on the back and say not now son
I'm a busy man

His sister's out on the sidewalk
Setting up a lemonade stand
Hey daddy don't you want to buy a glass from me
You say maybe later, can't you see i'm a busy man

You got to go, got to run
Hit it hard and get it done
Everyone can see you're going far
You got responsibilities
A crazy schedule that you keep
And when you say that time's a-wasting
You don't know how right you are
Busy man

There's a woman in the bedroom crying
Saying i thought we had plans
You say honey i'm sorry i'll make it up
When the job slows down and i'm not such
A busy man

You got to go, got to run

Hit it hard and get it done
Everyone can see you're going far
You got responsibilities
A crazy schedule that you keep
And when you say that time's a-wasting
You don't know how right you are
Busy man

Have you ever seen a headstone with these words
"if only i had spent more time at work"

There's a call one day from the office
They need you down in birmingham
You say no way, the weekend's mine
I got plans with the kids and a date with my wife
I'm a busy man

You got to go, got to run
Take a break and have some fun
Those that love you most
Say you've come far
Got some new priorities
In that schedule that you keep
And when you say that time's a-wasting
Now you know how right you are
Busy man
