come gather the time

come gather the time

i have nothing to do

come gather the time

i have nothing to do

who could be nicer than someone with nothing to do?

i've spent all my life looking for someone like you

come gather the time

i have nothing to do

come gather the time

i have nothing to do

who could be wiser than someone who knows not at all?

that's why i like it. your face is as blank as a wall

come gather the time

i have nothing to do

come gather the time

i have nothing to do

if someone should say i was born for a game or make me the president

if someone should say i was born for a game

you would still hear me say

come gather the time

i have nothing to do

come gather the time

i have nothing to do

go buy a bonnet that's sold by the carnival man

he won't tell you colors come off in your hand

come gather the time

i have nothing to do

come gather the time

i have nothing to do
