Come Gather the Time

Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do

Who could be nicer than someone with nothing to do?
I've spent all my life looking for someone like you

Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do

Who could be wiser than someone who knows not at all?
That's why I like it, your face is as blank as a wall

Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do

If someone should say I was born for a game
Or make me the president
If someone should say I was born for a game
You would still hear me say

Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do

Go buy a bonnet that's sold by the carnival man
No, he won't tell you colors come off in your hand

Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
Come gather the time, I have nothing to do
