Busy Doin’ Nothing Harmonica Tab

I don’t know who sang this or where it comes from. I just know the
tune ! If anyone knows, perhaps you can let me know.

Words: Johnny Burke
Music: James Van Heusen

1.

6 8 -9 8 -8 7 8
We’re bu-sy do-ing nothing
-8 -9 8 -8 7 -7
Working the whole day through
7 -7 -6 6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6
Trying to find lots of things not to do
6 8 -9 8 -8 7 8
We’re bu-sy go-ing nowhere
-8 -9 8 -8 7 -7
Isn’t it just a crime
-7 7 7 -10 -10 9 8
We’d like to be un-happy
7 -7 -6 7 -7 -6 -7 7
But — we never do have the time

2.

7 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -7
I have to watch the riv-er
-7 -8 7 -7 -6 -7 6
To see that it doesn’t stop
-7 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -7
And stick around the rose buds
-7 -8 7 -7 -6 9
So they’ll know when to pop
9 9 9 9 9 9 -8
And keep the crickets cheerful
-8 -9 -9 8 -8 8 7
They’re really a solemn bunch
7 -10 9 7
Hus – tle Bus – tle
-7 -6 7 -7 -6 -7 7
And on-ly an hour for lunch

3. (3&4 same tune as 2)

I have to wake the sun up
He’s liable to sleep all day
And then inspect the rainbows
So they’ll be bright and gay
And must rehearse the song birds
To see that they sing in key
Hus – tle Bus – tle
And never a moment free

4.

I have to meet a turtle
I’m teaching him how to swim
I have to shine the dew drops
Thet’re looking rather dim
I told my friend the robin
I’d buy him a brand new vest
Hus – tle Bus – tle
I wish I could take a rest

Finish with……

7 7 -10 -10 9 8
Better make it snap-py
7 -7 -6 -6 -7 -7 7
There’s an-oth-er hill to climb
7 7 7 -10 -10 9 8
We’d like to be un-happy
7 -7 -6 7 -7 -6 -7 7
But — we nev-er do have the time
