[Intro - fast picking, fiddle lead] [Spoken, clean unprocessed male voice] Well… I was gonna get it done today But tomorrow’s lookin’ mighty fine [Verse 1] Sun came up, rooster cried Got a list ‘bout a mile wide Leaking roof and a broken gate But I reckon it can wait Coffee’s hot, that’s up next Just one cup ‘fore I do my best Day slips by like a steamin’ train I’ll get to it… that’s the plaen [Chorus - upbeat, singalong] I’ll get around to it tomorrow That’s what I say today Kick that can a little farther Watch it roll away Work keeps knockin’ at my door I just tip my hat and frown “I’ll get around to it tomorrow, If tomorrow ever comes around!” [Verse 2] Fence blew down, cows long gone Saw ‘em grazin’ two towns on Neighbor hollered, “You okay?” I said “I’ll get there… one fine day!” [squeakey Neighbor imitation] She just laughed, “Boy, you stall! Watched your hay rain down last fall.” I said: Yep, I saw it too, Just ain’t got to what I oughta do. [Chorus] I’ll get around to it tomorrow That’s what I say today Kick that can a little farther Watch it roll away Work keeps knockin’ at my door I just tip my hat and frown “I’ll get around to it tomorrow, If tomorrow ever comes around!” [Break - banjo + fiddle solo] [Bridge - slightly slower, reflective] Every ‘later’ piles like lumber by the wall Till you ain’t got time at all Reaper knocked, dressed all in black: Said “Time to go” - I said “Hold back” Told him “Look, don’t rush me now; Got no fence and a lazy plow!” He just sighed and tipped his brim Guess I’ll get around to him [Final Chorus - strip back] “I’ll get around to it tomorrow” That’s what I said last week Kicked that can a little farther Watch it rollin’ outta reach Work keeps knockin’ at my door I just tip my hat and grin “I’ll sure start it all tomorrow, If I feel like workin’ then” [Outro - tag, playful] (Spoken) …Might start first thing in the mornin’ …After coffee. Hey Reaper, up for another cup? Still outta milk, though.
