lyrics

NOTHING TO DO (ALL DAY TO DO IT)

VERSE
NOTHING TO DO, ALL DAY TO DO IT
LIFE IS HARD SOMETIMES, YOU GOTTA WORK THROUGH IT
SO HURRY UP, TAKE YOUR TIME
LIFE IS SWEET MY LOVE, IN RHYTHM AND RHYME

NOTHING TO SAY, NO ONE TO HEAR IT
TAKE THIS CLUTTERED MIND AND SIMPLY CLEAR IT
CAUSE LIFE’S TOO SHORT TO NEVER TAKE A CHANCE
YOU GOTTA FACE THE MUSIC AND LEARN TO DANCE

CHORUS
BOW THAT FIDDLE, SING THAT SONG
WORK THAT RHYTHM ALL NIGHT LONG
CAUSE WHEN THE PUSH COMES TO SHOVE
YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH
YOU’VE GOT TO DRESS IT UP
LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

POLISH YOUR TOES, POWDER YOUR NOSE
GO AND BUY SOME FANCY CLOTHES
AND WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE TOO BRIGHT
YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH
YOU’VE GOT TO SHINE IT UP
LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

OOOO - LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
OOOO - LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
SOLO - FIDDLE
VERSE
NOWHERE TO BE, ALL DAY TO MAKE IT
THE ROAD LOOKS ROUGH & TIRED, THESE OLD WHEELS CAN’T TAKE IT
SLOW IT DOWN, NOT SO FAST
ENJOY THE RIDE, MAKE IT LAST

CAUSE THERE’S NOTHING TO DO, ALL DAY TO DO IT
LIFE IS HARD SOMETIMES, YOU GOTTA WORK THROUGH IT
TAKE YOUR TIME, HURRY UP AND WAIT
WHAT WILL BE WILL BE, DON’T HESITATE

CHORUS
JOKER’S WILD, CHIPS ARE STACKED
ALL BETS ARE IN, NO TURNING BACK
AND WHEN THE PRESSURE’S TOO MUCH
YOU THINK YOU’VE GOT THE TOUCH
YOU’VE GOT TO DIG IT UP
FIND A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
FIND A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

WELL SHE WAS ROCKIN’ AND I WAS SWINGING
THROUGH THE STREETS WE STARTED SINGING
FOR JUST A NICKEL AND A DIME
WE’D SING WITH RHYTHM AND RHYME
WE TRIED TO SHINE IT UP
LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
WE’LL FIND A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

OOOO - WE’LL FIND A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
OOOO - FIND A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
OOOO - JUST FIND A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
OOOO - [AND WE ALL SING…]
NOTHING TO DO, ALL DAY TO DO IT - 4X
OOOO + NOTHING TO DO, ALL DAY TO DO IT W/ ECHO - 4X
