Lyr Req: Busy Doing Nothing (Burke, Van Heusen)

Does anyone know the words to this lyrical gem? I know a first verse, but that's all.

I once saw this song played as a soundtrack to the House of Commons who, judging by the arm movements were actually singing 'Auld Lang Syne' at the time.

Here is a Google search that came up with several links for the lyrics you are requesting.

The version posted by Bob (first response in the Google link) is the one I know. I seem to remember this as being from a film, but can't remember which one.

The movie in which this song featured was "A Yankee in King Arthur's Court" (based on the Mark Twain Story). The song was sung by Bing Crosby, assisted by William Bendix, and Cedric Hardwicke.
