"All I do now is dick around, All I do now is dick around, dick around

Every day, every day, every day Every night, every night, every night Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day Every night, every night, every night, every night, every night

Overtime, more overtime, I'm conscientious by design

To reach the heights of academe To be the captain of the team

To CEO a thousand who will do the things I say to do

And I will make a lot of bread And you will find me good in bed

I will push, I will pull, I will push, I will pull

Pull a couple strings and find myself atop the corporation

Tailored to the maximum, I send another fax to them

A parking place, a new Corvette, a manicure, a private jet,

A stock incentive busting out,

"A phone call, sir."

Well, say I'm out.

"Your lady friend."

Well, put it through.

(SHE:) "Uh, listen, dear, I'm through with you."

(SHE:) "Through with you, through with you, through with you, through with you."

Yes, I think I got the point and bang, there goes my motivation

What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do,

All that I can think of was "I'm tendering my resignation."

But, all I do now is dick around

All I do now, is dick around, dick around

All I do now is dick around, when the sun goes up and the moon comes out

When the leaves are green and the leaves are brown

All I do now is dick around

I've got so much to do, gotta pick things up, gotta see things through

My, how the time does fly, gotta wave hello to a passerby

All I do now is dick around, when the sun goes up and the moon comes out

When the leaves are green and the leaves are brown

All I do now is dick around

I've got so much do

Gotta pick things up, gotta see things through

My how the time does fly, Gotta wave hello to a passerby

All I do now is dick around, when the sun goes up and the moon comes out

When the leaves are green and the leaves are brown All I do now is dick around

Think about the recent past The cynics said too good to last

But she could change her mind again Oh, no, this movie said "The End"

So I will go about my day Just dicking round, my metier

And realize that life is change And furniture to rearrange

Why the hell, why the hell, why the hell, why the hell?

Why the hell did she desert you when you were so influential?

Why the hell, why the hell, why the hell, why the hell?

Why did she desert you when you told her she was so essential?

Pull yourself up off the ground You've started liking being down

The persecution feels cool The subtle feel of garden tools

But what about that other life 'Cause this is more an afterlife

Seducing you each night and day You're never gonna break away

Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,

Knowing that from now on what you do is strictly non-essential

Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,

Knowing that from now on no one wonders if you've got potential

All I do is dick around, the sun goes up and the moon goes down

The leaves are green the leaves are brown

And all I do is dick around

Why the hell, why the hell, why the hell, why the hell?

Why the hell did she desert you when you were so influential?

Why the hell, why the hell, why the hell, why the hell?

Why did she desert you when you told her she was so essential?

But all I do now, is dick around All I do now is dick around, dick around

Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day

Every night, every night, every night, every night, every night

Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day

Every night, every night, every night, every night, every night

Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day

Every night, every night, every night, every night, every night

But all I do now is dick around All I do now is dick around, dick around

And all I do now is dick around

All I do now is dick around, dick around

Then I got the late-night call,

(SHE:) "I really miss you after all"

"I had a fling and that is all,

"A stupid fling, then hit the wall."

"So take me, take me, take me back."

"I love the way you scratched my back."

(HE:) Well, there is something you should know."

(HE:) We might not be simpatico."

All I do now, is dick around All I do now, is dick around

(SHE:) "I don't care what you do, dick around, I will too."

(SHE:) "I don't care what you do, I'll dick around next to you." But all I do now, is dick around

All I do now, is dick around

Dick around
