"Taking It Easy Here" lyrics

Now some folks think I'm lazy
Some say he's just tired
Some say I'm waitin' on a gravy train
For some rich fellow's yard

But they don't know what it's all about
No matter how it may appear
I don't pass through this world but once
So I'm taking it easy here

Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once
So I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once
So I'm taking it easy here

Now some folks like the northern states
Some folks like the south
Some run around like the Gypsies do
Just livin' from hand to mouth

But I don't want a lot of dough
Just enough to feel secure
I don't pass through this world but once
So I'm taking it easy here

Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once
So I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once
So I'm taking it easy here

Now some folks like the eastern states
Some folks like the west
But to me it's all the same just so I get my rest
My life's gettin' shorter every day
But the future holds no fear
I don't pass through this world but once
So I'm taking it easy here

Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once
So I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once
So I'm taking it easy here
