Lyrics for Lively Arts

I'm gonna stay in bed all day I'm not gonna hear a word you say It's gonna be a life of style for me Electric blankets, pillows, fire, and tv Chorus: Take a look outside Those lively arts are on the slide And culture's just a bore When you're angry, young and poor But if i got my way Those idle rich would pay When the discussion starts On the lively arts I'm gonna be a lazy slob Stuff the folks and sod the job And tell the foreman that i'm ill And in a week i'll be here still Yes i will Repeat chorus
