The Sloth (树懒) - Flanders & Swann[00:00:00]
A Bradypus or Sloth am I [00:00:34]
I live a life of ease[00:00:39]
Contented not to do or die [00:00:43]
But idle as I please[00:00:48]
I have three toes on either foot Or half a doz on both[00:00:52]
With leaves and fruits and shoots to eat [00:01:02]
How sweet to be a Sloth[00:01:06]
The world is such a cheerful place[00:01:12]
When viewed from upside-down;[00:01:16]
It makes a rise of every fall [00:01:21]
A smile of every frown;[00:01:25]
I watch the fleeting flutter by[00:01:30]
Of butterfly or moth[00:01:34]
And think of all the things I'd try[00:01:39]
If I were not a Sloth [00:01:44]
I could climb the very highest Himalayas [00:01:49]
Be among the greatest ever tennis players [00:01:52]
Win at chess or marry a Princess or[00:01:54]
Study hard and be an eminent professor [00:01:56]
I could be a millionaire play the clarinet [00:01:58]
Travel everywhere [00:02:01]
Learn to cook catch a crook [00:02:02]
Win a war then write a book about it [00:02:04]
I could paint a Mona Lisa [00:02:06]
I could be another Caesar [00:02:08]
Compose an oratorio that was sublime [00:02:11]
The door's not shut on my genius but[00:02:14]
I just don't have the time [00:02:18]
For days and days among the trees[00:02:24]
I sleep and dream and doze[00:02:29]
Just gently swaying in the breeze[00:02:34]
Suspended by my toes[00:02:38]
While eager beavers overhead[00:02:43]
Rush through the undergrowth[00:02:47]
I watch the clouds beneath my feet;[00:02:52]
How sweet to be a Sloth[00:02:56]
