More About People by Ogden Nash Lyrics

When people aren't asking questions
They're making suggestions
And when they're not doing one of those
They're either looking over your shoulder or stepping on your toes
And then as if that weren't enough to annoy you
They employ you
Anybody at leisure
Incurs everybody's displeasure
It seems to be very irking
To people at work to see other people not working
So they tell you that work is wonderful medicine
Just look at Firestone and Ford and Edison
And they lecture you till they're out of breath or something
And then if you don't succumb they starve you to death or something
All of which results in a nasty quirk
That if you don't want to work you have to work to earn enough money so that you won't have to work
