Lazy Afternoon (Live 1994)

[Intro]

So, um, do you ever feel like it's all just too much?

That you'd like to turn off the world, just run away?

Lie under a tree and do nothing?

Yeah

[Verse 1]

It's a lazy afternoon

And the beetle bugs are zoomin'

And the tulip trees are bloomin'

And there's not another human in view

But us two

[Verse 2]

It's a lazy afternoon

And the farmer leaves his reapin'

In the meadow, cows are sleepin'

And the speckled trouts stop leapin' upstream

As we dream

[Bridge]

A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill

Unfoldin' like a rose

If you hold my hand and sit real still

You can hear the grass as it grows

[Verse 3]

It's a hazy afternoon

And I know a placе that's quiet

'Cept for daisies running riot

And thеre's no one passing by it to see

Come spend this lazy afternoon with me

[Outro]

My, um, my tour started in London in April

And it was really, um

Quite nice to have Prince Charles come to see the show

I had met him in 1972 when he came to America

And I was very flattered, he asked to meet me

But at the time I was recording a song for the film What's Up, Doc?

And, um, I'm very work-oriented and kind of shy

And I tried to share my thoughts, my feelings, my tea

And um, he took it

I just didn't know what to say, you know?

And I'm afraid I wasn't as gracious as I should have been

Who knows, if I had been nicer to him

I could have been the first real Jewish Princess

Princess Babs, you know?

You can just imagine the headlines

"The Blintzes Princess Plays the Palace"

Or "Babs Digs Nails Into Prince of Wales"
