Bad news, go away
  Call `round someday
  In March or May
  I can't be bothered now
  
  My bonds and shares
  May fall downstairs
  Who cares, who cares
  I'm dancing and
  I can't be bothered now
  
  I'm up among the stars
  On earthly things I frown
  I'm throwing off the bars
  that held me down
  
  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
