I had a vision of a beautiful sloth thinking very busily about the world, and this song appeared one day in a rush of inspiration - don't you think if we all slowed down a little we would actually have more time to think!?

lyrics

I’m a sloth but I’m not just lazing around
Up here in the trees so far off the ground
I eat green leaves and I chew them slow
I don’t get dizzy upside down you know

I’m thinking my way through a million things
My brain works so fast I get giddy
So I may look like I’m doing nothing at all
But really I’m actually quite busy

(I’m a sloth)
I have three toes, some sloth have two
On humans you’d call them fingers
(I’m a sloth)
I’ve a very long tongue, long claws, green fur
It gets covered in algae, I don’t mind - it’s tasty

And I’m thinking my way through a trillion things
My brain works so fast I get giddy
So I may look like I’m doing nothing at all
But really I’m actually quite busy

(I’m a sloth)
Back in the olden days we were much bigger
We were called megatherium
Giant sloth as large as an elephant
Can you even imagine?

Now I’m thinking my way through gazillions of things
My brain works so fast I get giddy
And I may look like I’m doing nothing at all
Really I’m actually quite busy

I’m a sloth but I’m not just lazing around
Up here in the trees so far off the ground

(I’m a sloth)
Thinking my way through gazillion things
(I’m a sloth)
Thinking my way through a trillion things
(I’m a sloth)
Thinking my way through a million things
(I’m a sloth)
Don’t tell me I don’t look busy

Oh no no
Oh no no
