Lyrics
I'm sick of dullsville
I'd rather be in Deauville
Where people and roulette wheels go flashing by
You don't want placid grandeur
So give me your hand, you're
Just as anxious to keep moving as I
What makes an eager beaver eager to be busy?
What makes an eager beaver try to jump the gun?
Maybe a beaver thinks a bit of rest might cause a mild revulsion
Or does a feeling of compulsion make him run, run, run?
Come little beaver, I believe a task awaits us
Each little nibble brings you close to where I am
Build like a beaver 'til the thing we're building mates us
Eager beavers always give a damn
Nice little beaver with a skin so soft
Nice little beaver with a teeth so white
Beaver! Beaver! We're right!
C'mon, what's the action?
Hey Mike, what've we got for today?
Well, first we go to Pamplona to swim, then to Rochefleury for lunch
Then we got some skin diving off the Lazareth Rocks
Then we have to drive back to Beau
Vallon for cocktails with the Chauvels
And gamble
That's all?
That's all?
Action! Action! Lovely lively action
A word that often has the prefix "re"
Reaction! Reaction! The best part is reaction
It's like the breath of life to you and me
Hurry is the word as well as busy
Hasten, keep your face in line with mine
We can stop each other getting dizzy
But dizziness can often be divine
Action! Reaction! Action! Reaction!
What makes an eager beaver eager to be busy?
What makes an eager beaver try to jump the gun?
Maybe a beaver thinks a bit of rest might cause a mild revulsion
Or does a feeling of compulsion make him run, run, run?
Come little beaver, I believe a task awaits us
Each little nibble brings you close to where I am
Build like a beaver 'til the thing we're building mates us
Eager beavers always give a damn
Nice little beaver with a skin so soft
Nice little beaver with a teeth so white
Beaver! Beaver! We're right!
