It's not that I don't love you, you know how much I do

I'm not angry I'm not sick, there's nothing wrong me

You must understand my love I'm lazy, lazy as can be

Heaven to me is watching Jeopardy! with my feet up on your upholstery

If you're watching you might be able to tell, I'm rolling over now

I'll be here inanimate, idle, pardon me if I appear suicidal

Oh I lay my head on a hard loaf of bread wake me when the meal is through
