Lyrics
Don't Bother Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't bother me, I have some things to do,
Don't bother me, I have to tie my shoe,
Don't bother me, I'm standing like a tree,
Spin like a top, I can't stop,
Don't bother me.
Don't bother me, I have to hurry by,
Don't bother me, I'm learning how to fly,
Don't bother me, I'm buzzing like a bee,
Roll down the hill, can't keep still,
Don't bother me.
Don't bother me, I'm thinking something nice,
Don't bother me, I'm sliding on the ice,
Don't bother me, I'm singing "Toodle-dee,"
Boat on the bay, sailing away,
Don't bother me.
