Busy, busy, I’m very busy

I’m busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy
No, I’m not an asshole, I’m just busy
If I see no one but myself
And I hear no one but myself
And yet I hardly know myself it’s ‘cause I’m busy
From dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn
It seems my way is catching on
I didn’t notice you were gone
I was so busy, busy, busy, busy
Can’t you see I’m busy?

Friends are kind to each other’s hopes
We cherish their dreams as if they were our own
If I had such a friend, I’d be loyal to the end
But I’m busy, busy

I’m busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy
No, I’m not an asshole, I’m just busy
I’m my own Catch Twenty-Two
Yes, I’ve been hurt a time or two
But I’m not really torn in two, I’m just too busy
So I stay incommunicado
At a pace that’s pizzicato
Yes, I’m muy occupado
Yes, I’m busy, busy, busy, busy
Can’t you see I’m busy?

There’s no value in life except where we put it
No happiness here but what we bring to ourselves
It’s not the thing you look at, it’s what and how that you see
If you’re not busy, busy

I’m busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy
No, I’m not an asshole, I’m just busy
How did I get into this mess?
Maybe there’s something that I missed
‘Cause what I do in times of stress, I just get busy
If you see tears upon my face
Don’t think that I’m a basket case
I’m just afraid you’ll take my place
If I’m not busy, busy, busy, busy
Can’t you see I’m busy?

From time to time, I ask intimately
Will I go to my grave with my song still in me?
I’d live the life that I want, debonair, nonchalant
If I weren’t busy
