Lyrics The Empty Tidy Bag Blues - The Wombles

Woke up this morning feeling pretty good,
Bolted down my breakfast and went out into the woods.
I couldn't see any paper lying around the place,
Six o'clock this evening I was really in disgrace.

Oh yeah, I've got the Empty Tidy Bag Blues.
Oh yeah, I've got the Empty Tidy Bag Blues.
Well, I've been sleeping on the job,
And I wish I had a better excuse.

Well, I went down to the windmill to find myself a seat,
To shut my eyes and the weight from off my feet,
I looking forward to working all the day,
I hate to think what Great Uncle Bulgaria would say.

Oh yeah, I've got the Empty Tidy Bag Blues.
Oh yeah, I've got the Empty Tidy Bag Blues.
Well, I've been sleeping on the job,
And I wish I had a better excuse.

I wrote myself a letter, I put it in the post,
It said, "Dear Orinoco, you are lazier than most."
I opened up the letter, I knew that it was true,
So I went back to sleep again, it seemed the thing to do.

I've got the Empty Tidy Bag Blues.
Oh yeah, I've got the Empty Tidy Bag Blues.
Well, I've been sleeping on the job,
And I wish I had a better excuse.
