You've been working so hard 

No one can tell 

Why don't you try taking it easy 

You're covered with sweat 

And we're hardly there yet 

Don't be ashamed of yourself 

Just take it slow 

It's only me 



Lay your head back in your old easy-chair 

The day is done 

The harder you try to keep up with us 

You lose another breath 

Take it slow 

It's only me 



Your dogs are tired 

So let them alone 

They're almost done with their mushing 

You're working so hard 

No one can tell 

You've got so much to be proud of 



Lay your head back in your old easy-chair 

The day is done 

The harder you try to keep up with us 

You lose a breath 

Lay your head back in your old easy-chair 

The day is done 

The harder you try to keep up with us 

You lose another breath
