Busy Workin' is Better than
Busy Lookin', I reckon!

Workin' early an' workin' late
Workin' overtime almost every day
No time for my family
No time to slow down an' see

Busy workin' is better
Busy workin' is better than
Busy workin' is better than
            busy lookin' [for work]
I reckon
I reckon!

Thinkin' about jumpin' ship to another place
But lookin' right now would be a mistake
I should be thankful for what I've got
I'm workin'!  Thank God I almost forgot

Busy workin' is better
Busy workin' is better than
Busy workin' is better than
            busy lookin' [for work]
I reckon
I reckon!

I see my friend fightin' with his wife
He just lost his job you-know no money causes strife
He's lookin' for a new job both day and night
I hope an' pray he finds one that's right

Busy workin' is better
Busy workin' is better than
Busy workin' is better than
            busy lookin' [for work]
I reckon
I reckon!

Still I thank God for my job
I do my best no matter what
It's the job He's given me to do
Every moment Jesus helps me through

Busy workin' is better
Busy workin' is better than
Busy workin' is better than
            busy lookin' [for work]
I reckon
I reckon!

Busy workin' is better than
            busy lookin' [for work]
I reckon
I reckon!
