Takin' It Easy

(album: Here I Am - 1967)

I can afford to be lazy
I lie in the shade of some leafy tree
Cause I got my baby, and I got no worry
Taking it easy, is living to me

I can afford to do nothing
I'm watching the clouds go rolling by
Cause I got my baby, and I got no worry
Taking it easy, I'm that kind a guy

Listen people I'm talking life easy
Never, no more, on the run
Cause I found somebody who loves me
For myself now what's left to do be done?

I can afford to sleep like it's Sunday
No Mondays in my week to shake me from bed
Cause I got my baby, and I got no worry
Taking it easy, has gone to my head

Listen people I'm talking life easy
Never, no more, on the run
Cause I found somebody who loves me
For myself now what's left to do be done?

I can afford to be carefree
Spending my time out in the sun
Cause I got my baby, and I got no worry
I'm a taking it easy son of a gun

I can afford to be lazy
I lie in the shade of some leafy tree
Cause I got my baby, and I got no worry
Taking it easy, is living to me
