Lyrics

I'm just malingering
I'm just hanging around

Well
Suppose I should go home and go to sleep
Well I'm not quite ready to give up my midnight dream
I'm really tired
I'm almost lying down
Well I'm just malingering
I'm just hanging around

Well maybe I'll just go walk around the block
I'm been nursing the same dream since nine o'clock
The waitress looked at me ???
She knows that I'm malingering
I'm just hanging around

Well downtown is looking good
A while ago
And them lights in the rain put on quite a show
But I've walked around once
And I've walked around again
And I haven't seen nothing
I haven't seen ???

There's lots of stuff to do
Back at my place
But when I'm lonely ???
???
Here I am downtown
And I'm just malingering
I'm just hanging round

[???]

Well downtown is looking good
A while ago
And them lights in the rain put on quite a show
But I've walked around once
And I've walked around again
And I haven't seen nothing
I haven't seen ???

Lots of stuff to do
Back here at home
But when I'm lonely
I can't stay alone
I want people
So here I am downtown
And I'm just malingering
I'm just hanging around
I'm just malingering
I'm just hanging around

Lyrics

Malingering
I'm just hanging around in

Well

Suppose I could go walk around the block
I've been nursing the ???
The waitress looks at me
She has a little frown
She knows I'm malingering
I'm just hanging around

Well downtown is looking good
A while ago
And them lights in the rain put on quite a show
But I've walked around once already
And walked around again
But I haven't seen a thing
But I haven't been ???

Well now there's lots of stuff to do
???
Well I get lonely
I just, I just sit there in space
And I want to be around people
So I went downtown
And I'm just there malingering
I'm just hanging around

Downtown was looking good
A while ago
But them lights in the rain they put on quite a show
Well I walked around once
And I've walked around again
And I haven't seen nothing
I haven't seen nothing

Well now there's lots of stuff to do
I'm back at my home
But I get too lonely and I just stay alone
Then I don't do nothing
I just sit around you know
Feeling sorry for myself
I want to hang around people
So I went downtown
I'm just malingering
I'm just hanging round
Hanging round
Hanging round
