Lazy Days
The Byrds · Complete Album Collection [2011]
It's a lazy day, I'm down with nothing else to do
It's a crazy day, I've got a thing that I wanna try with you
Now baby, don't you go away
Please don't spoil my lazy day
Now isn't it better, didn't you know?
Just sittin' down here by the radio
I'm gonna make you worry none about your income tax
No, there's no need to hurry, I think I have to relax
It's a lazy day, I'm down with nothing else to do
And it's a crazy day, I've got a thing that I wanna try with you
Now baby, don't you go away
Please don't spoil my lazy day
No, you don't have to think about nothing to do
'Cause when I get you down by the barbecue
Oh, I'm gonna make you feel funny, sparkle like a brand new dime
No, I don't have no money but I always got plenty of time
It's a lazy day, I'm down with nothing else to do
It's a crazy day, I've got a thing that I wanna try with you
Now baby, don't you go away
Please don't spoil my lazy day
It's a lazy day
It's a lazy day
It's a lazy day
It's a lazy day
It's a crazy day, I've got a thing that I wanna try with you
Now baby, don't you go away
Please don't spoil my lazy day
Now isn't it better, didn't you know?
Just sittin' down here by the radio
I'm gonna make you worry none about your income tax
No, there's no need to hurry, I think I have to relax
It's a lazy day, I'm down with nothing else to do
And it's a crazy day, I've got a thing that I wanna try with you
Now baby, don't you go away
Please don't spoil my lazy day
No, you don't have to think about nothing to do
'Cause when I get you down by the barbecue
Oh, I'm gonna make you feel funny, sparkle like a brand new dime
No, I don't have no money but I always got plenty of time
It's a lazy day, I'm down with nothing else to do
It's a crazy day, I've got a thing that I wanna try with you
Now baby, don't you go away
Please don't spoil my lazy day
It's a lazy day
It's a lazy day
It's a lazy day
It's a lazy day
Lazy Days - The Byrds
Recorded in 1966, "Lazy Days" stands as a quintessential example of the Byrds' transition from folk-rock to psychedelic pop. The track features the band's signature jangly Rickenbacker guitar work and harmonies, capturing the laid-back, sun-drenched atmosphere of California life that defined their early sound. While often associated with the group's broader exploration of the Dylan catalog, this recording showcases the band's unique ability to blend acoustic storytelling with electric energy. It remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the era's fascination with the American West and the evolving textures of 1960s rock music.
