The Problems of a Simple Man

Just get up in the morning
And get back into bed
Watch the cobwebs on the ceiling
With your arms behind your head
You can find the answer
In a baked bean can
If you want to know the problems
Of a simple man

Time rushes by
As you lie
And 'meditate'
With any luck it will be half past two
Before you think of anything to do
And by then
It's far too late

Just get up in the morning
And get back into bed
Watch the cobwebs on the ceiling
With your arms behind your head
You can find the answer
In a baked bean can
If you want to know the problems
Of a simple man

Then there's the bore
At the door
Starting to shout
But you've had so many things to do
That you forgot the rent was overdue
And it's time
(If there's time)
For getting out

Fresh air
Lots of exercise
Waiting
For the next surprise
Sleeping
'Cos it satisfies
The problems of a simple man

Just get up in the morning
And get back into bed
Watch the cobwebs on the ceiling
With your arms behind your head
You can find the answer
In a baked bean can
If you want to know the problems
Of a simple man
