Drive on the Cart
Malvina Reynolds
Chorus:
Nothing in the world seems worth the trouble,
Nothing in the world seems worth the trouble,
Nothing in the world seems worth the trouble,
Drive on the cart!
Once was a man who was so lazy,
He wouldn't work he drove folks crazy,
He wouldn't move, he slept all day.
Got under-foot and in everybody's way.
Oh, drive on the cart.
(Chorus)
All of his neighbors got together,
Said old Charlie's too much of a bother,
He's too lazy to keep on living,
Take him to the graveyard, start the digging,
Drive on the cart.
(Chorus)
Dumped him in the cart to take to bury
On down the road to the cemetery,
Farmer came by with a load of corn,
Says, "There's Old Charlie, sure as you're born!"
Drive on the cart.
(Chorus)
If he's too lazy to go on living,
Here's a load of corn I'm gladly giving.
Charlie sits up, says, "Is it shucked?"
Farmer says No and Charlie lays back,
Says, "Drive on the cart!"
(Chorus)
