Mood : Happy Mood + Playful Mood (Lazy)
Key : B Major
Love the Monkeys!!!
This is the song that I always play or sing when I feel extremely stressed out. Once in a while, I can be quite lazy and procrastinate (delays tasks) a lot too. I love taking short breaks and rests in between work. Going for Holidays? My favorite!! The nature of my business requires me to be on the phone like almost all the time. It's really stressful! At the end of the day, I'm human too.
Anyway, please click HERE for the video. You'll need it while reading a preferably color printed copy of this tutorial to play. You'll also need to refer to past tutorials to learn how to play by ear. Never rush things!
Introduction :
Mimic the Drum Beat, use B (The Base Note)
The song just starts!
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
(A huge part of the song was played with an Acoustic Guitar. Use your piano to mimic the style of a guitar's accompaniment. The Left Hand dances on B, F#, E back to B, there are some notes in between, you listen to the actual song. The forth phrase use B, D#, E. Right Hand plays the Melody playfully)
I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't
I'll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my Snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man
(A bit smoother on this part rather than too playfully detached. Similar base pattern. Right Hand plays the Melody)
Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can
(Smooth on C#, D#, E, F# back to B. Right Hand plays the Melody)
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all, nothing at all

Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Find a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out
This is great
(Oh my god, this is great)
Yeah, I might mess around
And get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait
(A bit smoother on this part rather than too playfully detached. Similar base pattern. Right Hand plays the Melody)
Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can

No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Left Hand on C#, D#, G# then C#, F#, G# smooth)
I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
