Lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up this morning Feeling pretty good Bolted down my breakfast and went out into the woods I couldn't see any paper Lying around the place Six o'clock this evening, I was really in disgrace [Chorus] Aw, yeah, I got the empty tidy-bag blues Aw, yeah, I got the empty tidy-bag blues Well, I've been sleeping on the job, and I wish I had a better excuse [Verse 2] Well, went down to the windmill To find myself a seat To shut my eyes and take the weight from off my feet I wasn't looking forward to working all day I hate to think what Great-Uncle Bulgaria would say [Chorus] Aw, yeah, I got the empty tidy-bag blues Aw, yeah, I got the empty tidy-bag blues Well, I've been sleeping on the job, and I wish I had a better excuse Ooh [Instrumental break] [Verse 3] I wrote myself a letter I put it in the post It said, "Dear Orinoco, you are lazier than most" I opened up the letter I knew that it was true So I went back to sleep again, it seemed the thing to do [Chorus] I got the empty tidy-bag blues Aw, yeah, I got the empty tidy-bag blues Well, I've been sleeping on the job, and I wish I had a better excuse
