A routine life A quiet dull life Only obeying your order A small circle, a large circle There's no need of frail circles Things go from bad to worse We all caught the disease and fell down I sighed a deep sigh, knowing I lost my fortune We are hard pressed for time It will dry up our imagination But we need to get on with our life We are getting on, time is getting on A simple life A narrow and close life Haste makes waste A lonely place, a busy place I wanna walk a lonesome rode Things go from bad to worse We all caught the disease and fell down I sighed a deep sigh, knowing I lost my fortune We are hard pressed for time It will dry up our imagination But we need to get on with our life We are getting on, time is getting on Sometimes I want a good cry And other times I want a hearty laugh I'll do as I please Sometimes I want a good cry And other times I want a hearty laugh I'll do as I please Routine duties A steady life I rove from one place to another Lonely days, busy days The more the better for me Things go from bad to worse We all caught the disease and fell down I sighed a deep sigh, knowing I lost my fortune We are hard pressed for time It will dry up our imagination But we need to get on with our life We are getting on, time is getting on
