The Sloth - 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]
