Pete Atkin - I've Got Better Things To Do lyrics

Atkin-James I got better things to do Than hang around you the livelong day I got better things to do Than think about you the livelong day There's all my seashells from everywhere I've been There must be hundreds that need another clean I've got better things to do, believe me Than hang around you I got better things to do Than waiting for you to talk to me I got better things to do Than dying for you to talk to me I could watch King Kong for the whole afternoon Or a late-night re-run of Destination Moon I got better things to do, believe me Than hang around you Big deal, so you think you're in demand Well do you know what you really are? You're a baby piano pretending to be grand And all I want is a table near the band So you can hear me go "eeaargh!" Have a cigar I got better things to do Than waiting for you to notice me I got better things to do Than yelling at you to look at me I got books of crosswords that are only half filled in I could fill in the rest and fill the first half in again I've got better things to do, believe me Than hang around you OK, so you're heading for the top But with me it won't get you far They've put your features on toothpaste, powder soap and scent Your name in lights and your footprints in cement But to me you're just eeaargh, that's what you are I got better things to do than hang around you the livelong day I got better things to do than think about you the livelong day There are things at home that need attending to Like the alabaster statue I'm carving of you I've got better things to do, believe me Than hang around you
