Leisurely Living
Barbershop yodel harmony at a slow 110 BPM with a dark, old-time lounge sway; verse stays sparse with close-mic lead, upright bass, brushed snare, and tight trio chords, then pre-chorus opens into stacked yodel lines and soft gang barbershop vowel swells. Chorus lands in big four-part harmony with playful yodel hooks, handclaps, and a woozy tape wobble. Warm, intimate, dusty mix with a sepia glow and low-end pulse., old-time, healing

Lyrics
Verse 1
I got my slippers by the door
My card game set for one more score
The porch swing creaks in perfect time
And the kettle sings my old slow rhyme
Clock face hushed, the afternoon
Moves like a tune in a silver spoon
I keep my worries in a drawer
Then shut it soft and ask for more
Pre-Chorus
Let the day roll by
Let my bones unwind
One deep breath, one grin
And I’m back again
Chorus
Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah
Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya
Yodel my troubles away
Yodel my troubles away
Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah
Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya
I’m old enough to stay
Old enough to stay
Verse 2
I fold my socks with gospel care
Set out two pears in the cool air
The neighbor waves from across the lawn
Like every little race is gone
I got a chair that knows my name
A back screen door and a domino game
My grandkids laugh, then run for miles
And leave me here with my patient smile
Pre-Chorus
Let the day roll by
Let my knees go loose
If the world spins fast
I still got a groove
Chorus
Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah
Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya
Yodel my troubles away
Yodel my troubles away
Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah
Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya
I’m old enough to stay
Old enough to stay
Bridge
When the moon climbs in
And the hall goes dim
I hum low and slow
Till the shadows glow
Final Chorus
Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah
Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya
Yodel my troubles away
Yodel my troubles away
Leisurely living, oh-yeah, oh-yeah
Leisurely living, hey-ya, hey-ya
I’m old enough to stay
Old enough to stay
