about

Ain't Doin' Bad Doin' Nothin'
by Joe Venuti (music) and Lee Jarvis (lyric)
1947

lyrics

- - - - -

Ain't doin' bad doin' nothin',
Just sittin' round all day.
I'm tellin' you the less I do,
The more things come my way!

When I get up in the mornin',
Thinkin' of the day ahead
Makes me so downright weary,
I go on right back to bed!

Why should I ever worry?
It's such a losin' game!
Why should I move, when I can prove
I get there just the same?

Ain't doin' bad doin' nothin',
Somehow it seems to pay!
Ain't doin' bad doin' nothin',
Just sittin' round all day.
