We all know people who have their heads in the clouds.
Here's an animal who has his feet in the clouds
The Bradipus or three-toed sloth or sloth
I really ought to be hanging upside down to sing this but I found this rather impractical
So if you can perhaps you'd be kind enough to stand on your heads to listen.
We should get more or less the right

[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] A
[Ab] Bradipus or [Db] sloth am I I [Eb] live a life [Ab] of ease
[F] [Ab]
Contented not [Db] to do [Bbm] or die [Bb] but idle as I [Eb] please
[Ab] I have three [C] toes [Db] on either foot [Fm] or [Bb] half a does on [Eb] both
[Cm] [Ab] With leaves and fruits [Db] and
[Eb] How sweet to be [Ab] a sloth
[F] [Ab] The world is such a cheerful [Eb] place when viewed from upside [Ab] down
[Eb] [Ab] It makes a rise [Db] of every fall [Bb] a smile of every [Eb] frown.
[Ab] I
Watch the [C] [Db] fleeting flower to buy [Bb] a butterfly [Eb] or moth
[Ab] And think of all [Db] the things I [Bbm] try [Eb] if I were not [Ab] a sloth
[Eb] [Ab] I could climb the very highest Himalayas be among the [Fm] greatest ever tennis [Ab] players
Win a chess or marry a [Eb] princess or study hard and be an eminent professor
[Bbm] I could be a [Bbm] millionaire play the [F] clarinets travel everywhere
[Eb] [Ab] In a war then write a book about it I could paint a Mona Lisa I could be another [Eb] Caesar
Compose an oratorio [Db] that was sublime
The doors not [Dbm] shut on [Ab] my genius, but [Db] I just [Eb] don't have [Ab] the time
[C] [Eb] Or [Ab] days and days [Db] among the [Bbm] trees I [Eb] sleep and dream [Ab] and
[F] This [Ab]
way [Db] in the breeze [Bb] suspended by [Eb] my toes
[Ab] while eager
[C] [Bbm] Beavers overhead [Bb] rush through the [Bb] [Eb] undergrowth I
[Ab] Watch the clouds
[Db] beneath [Ab] my feet how [Eb] sweet to be [Ab] a Sloth
