Melanie Safka - Buckle Down Lyrics

There's a hole in my pocket
And some mending to be done
And the well's out of water
Praise the rain and curse the sun
Curse the rain in the flood as I go swimming downtown
But there's work to be done so buckle down

Buckle down everybody, everybody buckle down
Buckle down everybody, buckle down
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around
But there's work to be done so buckle down

Oh my boats run aground and the crew is drunk below
And I blew out my sail and now I'm waiting for a tow
Gonna whistle up the wind and then I'll buy the crew a round
But there's work to be done so buckle down

Buckle down everybody, bucka, bucka, buckle down
Buckle down everybody, buckle down
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around
But there's work to be done so buckle down

If you need a little money go get some
If your car's out of gas and it just won't run
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around
But there's work to be done so buckle down

Buckle down everybody, everybody buckle down
Buckle down everybody, buckle down
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around
But there's work to be done so buckle down

If your clothes are getting shabby go get some
If you're getting kind of flabby you better run
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around
But there's work to be done so buckle down

Buckle down everybody, everybody buckle down
Buckle down everybody, buckle down
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around
But there's work to be done so buckle down
There's a time to be lazy and a time to hang around
But there's work to be done so buckle down
