Some folks are proud
Of all the plans they got
And all the things
They intend to get around to
But until they get around to doing it
It's all just so much ado about so much ado
I knew a girl who declared that by summer
She will have published a book of poetry
Let me tell you it never got done
It was just her way of saying
"Hey everyone, look at me"
Nothing good ever comes to you easy
If it did then we all would be Vincent Van Gogh
Got to put your big old nose to the grindstone
Even then the good comes slow
Don't just stand there
With your finger in your nose
Don't just stand there
Counting cons and counting pros
You gotta make it
You gotta take it
You gotta shake it
It won't get done if you don't do the work
Everyone tells you you are pretty and smart
You agree with them and you play the part
To them you are close to a god
You just snap your finger and your friends do applaud
You keep threatening you're on the brink
You keep threatening to make a big stink
Gotta be it
Gotta free it
I don't see it
