Today, I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
‘Cause today, I swear, I’m not doing anything, uh
I’m gonna kick my feet up, then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody’s gon’ tell me I can’t, nah
I’ll be lounging on the couch, just chillin’ in my Snuggie
Click to MTV, so they can teach me how to dougie
‘Cause in my castle, I’m the freaking man
Oh-oh, yes, I said it (Ooh-ooh)
I said it, I said it, ’cause I can (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Today, I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
‘Cause today, I swear, I’m not doing anything
Nothing at all
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, ooh
Nothing at all
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, ooh
Tomorrow, I’ll wake up, do some P90X
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she’s gonna scream out, “This is great!” (Oh my God, this is great)
Yeah, I might mess around and get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry, pops, you’ll just have to wait
Oh-oh, yes I said it (Ooh-ooh)
I said it, I said it, ’cause I can (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Today, I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
‘Cause today, I swear, I’m not doing anything
No, I ain’t gonna comb my hair (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
‘Cause I ain’t going anywhere (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I’ll just strut in my birthday suit (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And let everything hang loose (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, today, I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
‘Cause today, I swear, I’m not doing anything
Nothing at all
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, ooh
Nothing at all
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, ooh
Nothing at all
A Celebration of Doing Nothing
“The Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars is a catchy anthem for anyone who’s ever wanted to take a day off from life’s demands. The lyrics capture the universal desire to unwind, relax, and disregard responsibilities, if only for a moment. With playful lines about lounging in bed, ignoring phone calls, and reveling in personal comfort, Bruno Mars paints a relatable picture of unapologetic laziness. The song’s lighthearted tone and humorous imagery—like learning to dougie from MTV or strutting in a birthday suit—add to its charm, inviting listeners to embrace their own carefree moments without guilt. Ultimately, “The Lazy Song” reminds us that sometimes, it’s okay to just do nothing at all.
