The Procrastinator's Game (I'll Get to It Later)

Spin me, spin me around;
Where will I land?
I am adventure bound,
A one-man band
Of thoughts and feelings I can't tame.
So I play the procrastinator's game.

Hi there, I'm the DJ
At FM Me!
What's your pleasure? I'll play
A fun oldie.
So glad to meet you--what's your name?
Welcome to the procrastinator's game.

Tuckin' away my long to-do list; 
I'll get to it later.
Fun is the one thing on my new list,
My stress detonator.
So long, gratification delay;
I'll change my mind someday,
But not today.

Looking glass, look away;
I'll be okay.
I need a holiday,
A break today.
I've lost my planner--what a shame!
Guess I'll play the procrastinator's game.

Tuckin' away my long to-do list; 
I'll get to it later.
Fun is the one thing on my new list,
My stress detonator.
So long, gratification delay;
I'll change my mind someday,
But not today.

Tuckin' away my long to-do list; 
I'll get to it later.
Fun is the one on my new list,
My stress detonator.
So long, gratification delay;
I'll change my mind someday,

But I'm tuckin' away my long to-do list; 
I'll get to it later.
Fun is the one on my new list,
My stress detonator.

Tuckin' away my long to-do list;
Yeah,  cuz life is a fleeting dream, a mere mist.
Said I'm tuckin' away my long to-do list.
I'll get to it lay-lay-lay-lay-get to it later.
