Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do

Who could be nicer than someone with nothing to do?
I've spent all my life looking for someone like you

Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do

Who could be wiser than someone who knows not at all?
That's why I like it. Your face is as blank as a wall

Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do

If someone should say I was born for a game or make me the President
If someone should say I was born for a game, you would still hear me say

Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do

Go buy a bonnet that's sold by the carnival man
, he won't tell you colors come off in your hand

Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
