Elton John - I Meant To Do My Work Today (A Day in the Country) lyrics

"I meant to do my work today The brown bird sang in the apple tree I know that's why .... And a bu*terfly flittered across the field And all the leaves were calling me And the bu*tercups nodded their smiling heads Greeting the bees who came to call And I asked the lizard the time of day....." And the wind went sighing over the land, Tossing the gra**es to and fro, And a rainbow held out its shining handâ?? So what could I do but laugh and go?
