Analysis of B-U-Busy
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
It is healthy to stay busy.
Remove that 'WHY' right out of your life.
And...
Choose something different,
To try you might like.
B-u-busy.
Forget what other people,
May think of you.
Do something different,
Without them to approve or give attitude.
Stop that queasy quizzing feeling,
Squeezing life from you.
B-u-busy.
And decide this you will do.
B-u-busy.
Stop procrastinating,
Like so many others choose.
Doing nothing more than that,
To hope you do it too!
Be you one who's busy.
Finding more in life to like.
Be you one Just too busy.
Finding more in life to like.
And...
This you will.
Find more in life to like.
Yes...
This you will.
Find more in life to like.
This...
I bet you will!
