about

Busy
Interpretation by Kay Duncan
Have we reached a point where we seem to be defining ourselves by how busy we are? This song is drawn from some of my own experiences of work and parenting – the joys the challenges, the energy through to burn-out! The crazy juggling act that we are told is ‘normal’, at times seems absurd! Don't be afraid to step off that treadmill for a while to re-charge and find your happy place again.

I’m busy today I am busy today
I’m busy yesterday and I am busy today
Well I’m rushing here and there never any time to stay
I’m busy today never any time just to play

I’m busy beatin’ butter busy
So busy beetle buzzin’ busy
Yeah I’m busy today never any time to stop and play
Never time to play ah ah

Chorus:
Busy bee bra beadun bada busy bee
Busy bee bra beadun bada busy bee ah ah

Bridge
My life feels like I’m in a world competition
How much can I do living up to expectations?
Kids’ are riding free unaware of my limitation
Got to get a balance on my present situation
But no …
I’m busy today I am busy today
I’m busy yesterday and I am busy today
I’m busy beatin’ butter busy
So busy beetle buzzin’ busy
I’m busy today never any time to stop and play
Never time to play ah ah

Break:
Oh I got to slow down baby
I’ve got to slow down from this show down I’m living out
Oh I’m going to break down baby
I’m gonna break down with a shake down that’s coming now
Oh I’m going to burn out baby
I’m gonna burn out with this turn out I’m giving out
Oh I’m going to burn out baby
I’m gonna burn out from this turn out I’m giving out
I gotta slow down I gotta slow down
But …
I’m busy today I am busy today
Busy yesterday and I am busy today
I’m busy beatin’ butter busy
So busy beetle buzzin’ busy
Yeah I’m busy today never any time to just stop and play
Never time to play ah ah

Chorus:
Busy bee bra beadun bada busy bee
Busy bee bra beadun bada busy bee ah ah
I’m busy beatin’ butter busy
