Lyrics

Don’t wanna go to work today
The sun is shiny and warm
I’d rather stay at home and play
Have a picnic on the lawn
The little puddy goes meow
The little birdy goes tweet tweet
I’m playin’ hooky with my baby
In our wilderness retreat

I’m tired of workin’ for the man
Every second of the day
I’d rather stretch out in the sand
By a nice secluded bay
But we ain’t got a lot of money
So it’s here we’re gonna stay
I’m playin’ hooky with my baby
In our little hideaway

The smell of spring is in the air
The trees and flowers are in bloom
And the golden rays of sunshine
Slowly penetrate the gloom
We’ll go out walking in the field
Kickin’ up the morning dew
I’m playin’ hooky with my baby
I wanna spend the day with you
I’m playin’ hooky with my baby
My baby
My baby
