Verse 1:
I’m down and I feel depressed
Sitting here, just waiting
For next bus travelling downtown
It’s a crying shame, isn’t it?

Pre-Chorus:
The beautiful weather
If I could have my way
Well, I would not be working
On a day like this, I know what I’d like to be

Chorus:
As free as a bumble bee
Take a sip from every flower
Free as a bumble bee
While away each lazy hour

Post-Chorus:
What a good life, lying laid back
Like an old railroad bum by the track
What a good life, living outdoors
Lie in the grass and chew on a straw

Verse 2:
I’m down and I feel depressed
Sitting here, just waiting
For next bus travelling downtown
It’s a crying shame, isn’t it?

Pre-Chorus:
The beautiful weather
If I could have my way
Well, I would not be working
On a day like this, I know what I’d like to be

Chorus:
As free as a bumble bee
Take a sip from every flower
Free as a bumble bee
While away each lazy hour

Chorus:
As free as a bumble bee
Take a sip from every flower
Free as a bumble bee
While away each lazy hour

Post-Chorus:
What a good life, lying laid back
Like an old railroad bum by the track
What a good life, living outdoors
Lie in the grass and chew on a straw
