Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bad news, go away
Call 'round someday
In March or May
I can't be bothered now
[Verse 2]
My bonds and shares
May fall downstairs
Who cares, who cares
I'm dancing and I can't be bothered now
[Verse 3]
I'm up among the stars
On earthly things I frown
I'm throwing off the bars
That held me down
[Verse 4]
I'll pay the piper
When times are riper
Just now, I shan't
Because you see
I'm dancing and I can't be bothered now
[Verse 5]
I'm up among the stars
On earthly things I frown
I'm throwing off the bars
That held me down
[Verse 6]
I'll pay the piper
When times are riper
Just now, I shan't
Because you see
I'm dancing and I can't be bothered now
Written by: George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
