Lyrics

verse 1
I wrote these lyrics ’cause I didn’t have time to think of something else.
Yeah, it’s last minute ’cause I really like to screw over myself.
It’s a habit that I really have not been able to break.
Yeah, I can’t help but procrastinate!
refrain
Procrastination; My greatest weakness, my greatest fear!
Procrastination! I’ll overcome it! Just give me a year.
Procrastination; I flaw I have that I often hate.
Procrastination; I can’t help but procrastinate!
verse 2
I wish I didn’t have a difficult time trying to push myself.
Oh, no, it isn’t very pleasant for my emotional health.
I’m so sorry that I had to turn in this assignment late,
‘Cause I can’t help but procrastinate
refrain
Procrastination; My greatest weakness, my greatest fear!
Procrastination! I’ll overcome it! Just another year.
Procrastination; I flaw I have that I often hate.
Procrastination; I can’t help but procrastinate!

(Singer should make a remark about an unfinished third verse.)
