"I Meant To Do My Work Today (A Day In The Country)" lyrics

"I Meant To Do My Work Today (A Day In The Country)"
(from "Friends" soundtrack)

"I meant to do my work today
The brown bird sang in the apple tree
I know that's why
And a butterfly flittered across the field
And all the leaves were calling me
And the buttercups nodded their smiling heads
Greeting the bees who came to call
And I asked the lizard the time of day..."
And the wind went sighing over the land
Tossing the grasses to and fro
And a rainbow held out its shining hand—
So what could I do but laugh and go?
