SUNG TO THE TUNE OF ROD STEWART’S “INFATUATION”
Here’s the original video, to give you the melody:
♫♫♫
Early in the morning, I can’t sleep
I can’t work, get on the PC
Been lazy all day, can’t concentrate
Better get up, before its too late
♫♫♫
Sitting down on my big fat butt
Hours pass and I say “What”?
Next thing you know the day is gone
And once again the job’s not done
Oh no not again!
This can’t be good
I don’t understand
Procrastination!
Procrastination!
Procrastination!
Procrastination!
Headache pounds like a big bass drum
Losing all equilibrium
It’s so hard in the middle of the week
Motivation is what I need
Oh no not again!
This can’t be good
I don’t understand
Procrastination!
[repeat three times]
[Instrumental break]
Time to go and get things done
Trouble is, this is too much fun
My own advice can I really heed?
Motivation is what I need
Oh no not again!
This can’t be good
I don’t understand
Procrastination!
[repeat six times]
Rev it up!

And here I am at 4:30 AM reading this because I can’t sleep. Procrastination has been an unfortunate life theme for me.

Tossing It Out
Your parodies are the very best, Debbie… I love your perspective.
This one is timeless.
Thanks for the compliment! 😀 I love writing song parodies.
Have you been looking into my home and seeing my on my iPad? Yes, I think you have. This is excellent! I love how you are able to create words to this song. I could never do that.
Hahaha! So many of us get caught up with online stuff and the time whizzes by! 😀 Thanks for the kind words, Birgit. I love writing song parodies. It’s about time to do another one, but the muse is sleeping just now.
First off, love the song you chose! Secondly, spot on girly! Thanks for the Friday giggles!
Thanks, Bren! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it.
Hahahaha. I am loving these, Debbie! I speed demon thru the housework so I can sit for a minute that turns into an entire afternoon! What did we do before the inet??
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Mimi! 😀 I tend to lose myself at the computer and forget about the housework, then freak out because it has piled up so much. Dogs sleep a lot, so there’s plenty of time for me to go down that internet rabbit hole. 😛 As the sign says, my house was in a lot better shape before!
This is too funny and yes, I can TOTALLY relate!!
I am a big procastinator when it comes to cleaning to house. I get all sorts of headache, stomachache, leg pain, knee pain before starting it 😛 Loved reading your post. I could so relate to it.
Hi Debbie,
The broken computer quote, that’s for me too :). I love when you do these. You definitely have an ear for music lady. I love Rod Stewart, this is one of the songs I like from him.
This week has been full of procrastination and lack of motivation. Your post summed it up perfectly!
Love the images you shared too. Have a great day and fabulous weekend!
I love the song in question (one of the few good ones he had from that time period) and that parody is spot on. Love it!
Glad you enjoyed this, George! 😀 Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.
I love the quote on broken computer, suits me perfectly!
Suits me too, Richa! 😀 Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.
You’re hilarious with your song parodies, Debbie. I can sure relate to this one, that’s for sure. Just call me the Procrastination Queen. I get on that computer and the day whizzes past before my eyes.
Glad you’re enjoying my Ditzy Ditties, Cathy. 😀 I love writing them! Have a good long weekend.
This is fantastic. No one could leave here without a smile on their face.
Glad you left here with a smile on your face, Myke! 😀 Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.
It is a lot more fun typing comments to Rod Stewart music. Now I need to do some work, oh well…
It is, isn’t it? 😀 Glad you had a nice little break from your work, Neva. Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.
haha! yes! I’ve been procrastinating vacuuming the house all morning now! instead, I’m blogging! 😀
Don’t blame you, Pixie. Blogging is so much more interesting than vacuuming. 😀 Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, Debbie. Was nodding along and keeping pace 😉 Oh and the words make sense too 😀
Glad you liked it, Shailaja! 🙂 I think it’s something most of us are familiar with.
Oh yes, can totally relate 😛 I loved the animations too 😛 Loved your write.
I think most of us can. Glad you enjoyed it, Shalini. 🙂 Thanks for visiting.
Nope – not me. I am the opposite. I married a procrastinator and it drives me nuts. My daughter is one as well. I never put anything off for later — my life motto “Do it right, Do it now.” Judging from your comments I guess I am weird.
You’re not weird, Carol. Just better organized and more industrious than most of us. 😀 I’m easily distracted and go off on tangents a lot. On the plus side, my best efforts are always under pressure and at the last possible moment. Thanks for visiting today. Cheers!
Can totally relate. Even when laughing, I can see that this is me. I have lived my life like this, and it obviously shouldn’t be. Then again, maybe I have too much that I’m “supposed” to do or just want to do too much. Who knows? Thanks for the giggles on this – for me – serious topic.
Hi Linda; It’s been the story of my life as well. I’m so easily distracted. LOL Truth is though, I do my best work under pressure and at the last minute. Good point, we probably DO have too much on our plates. Thanks for visiting and have a great day.
Oh yes! I know all about it. Love this (and Rod Stewart, of course), Debbie! 🙂
Me too, Corinne! 😀 Glad you enjoyed this (and Rod is one of my all-time favourites as well). Thanks for visiting and have a great day.
LOL, funny and yes, I’m a terrible procrastinator! Shiny bright objects or not enough hours in the day to do all I want to do. PRIORITIZE they say! I’ll do that as soon as I finish this…. hee hee
Hahaha! You and me both. 😀 Glad you enjoyed this, now get to work! 😉
Hi Debbie! I love this song!
Hi Bren; Glad you like this. 😀 Thanks for visiting and have a great day.
Hi Debbie, this does sound familiar. I was going to go to the gym this a.m. but here I am still online 🙂 Let’s see if I make it after work or if it will be the same story 🙂 Thanks for the humor today!
Time just has a way of slipping by, doesn’t it Lisa? 😀 Glad you enjoyed this and have a great day, gym or not.
I think we all can relate to this Debby…I know I can 😀
Me too! 😀 I seem to work best under pressure. Thanks for visiting. Let’s get to work! 😉
I got tons of things to do at the moment, but… “It is what it is…”. Vacation first. Florida, here we come!
Yup; it is. 😀 Thanks for dropping by, Jan. I hope you and Julie have a wonderful vacation!

Don’t I know it Jen! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

Thanks Natasha! I think most of us can relate, LOL 😀
Love the song Debbie! People are important and housework can wait!
♥ya
Thanks Linda! Love ya too ♥ Sounds like another good song title, LOL. “Housework Can Wait” 😉
I LOVE IT! Such a great choice of images to compliment the message of your witty lyrics. So many of us can relate.
Thank you, G! Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
HAHAHAHAHA! LOVE this picture!!
I love your post, Debbie, you know how to create fun! Thanks!
@ G: Some days, yes? 😉 Or…….
@ Karin; Thank you and glad you enjoyed it! ☺☺☺
I got plenty of that going on this spring – things are beginning to pile up: tax prep still on hold, fencing projects and lots of outside things that need attention – very difficult, especially when the task master isn’t home to keep me on track.
Hahaha! Yes, “when the cat’s away, the mice will play! 😉 Hope you don’t owe any taxes, because the IRS will get ya if you’re late! 😮
