SO MUCH OF NOTHING TO DO
Joe Greene

Sep 11th 1949 Los Angeles


So much of nothin' to do!

I've got so much of nothin' to do,
People tell me I'm lazy, it's true.
Got abundance of time
For loafin', since I'm
So fresh out of dates with you.

Got a surplus of moments to spare,
And there's no-one to worry or care,
'Cause my baby has flown,
And I'm on my own
With so much of nothin' to do!

I feel so restless,
Just can't get back on the beam.
I'm really so useless,
Unless I'm building a dream.

It's a kind of a blue groove I'm in,
But I'm trying to hold up my chin!
While I'm waitin' around for somebody new,
Got so much of nothin' to do,
I've got so much of nothin' to do!

I feel so restless,
Just can't get back on the beam.
I'm really so useless,
Unless I'm building a dream.

(scat)
While I'm waitin' around for somebody new,
Got so much of nothin' to do,
Got so much of nothin' to do!
