Stock Music track: I Ain't Got Time For You

Swinging quartet and male jazz vocalist deliver the goods on this tale of an arrogant guy who is just a little too important for the rest of us. Funny, sarcastic, up-tempo, full of brash. Fun, campy feel.

Lyrics: I ain’t got time for you
I ain’t got time for you

I’m late for a date
I’ve got a lot on my plate
I’ve got too much to do
You best get out of my way
I’ve had a hell of a day
And I ain’t got time for you

I’m busy; don’t you know
I’ve got a seat behind Jack in the second row
I’m on the go, go, go
I’m a who’s who who

And I ain’t got time for you
No I ain’t got time

If you got something I need
I’ll look you up yes indeed
Other than that we’re through
If we were friends long ago
I hate to tell you so; but really it’s true
I ain’t got, ain’t got, ain’t got time for you

I ain’t got time for you
I ain’t got time for you

Even my mom and dad
And my best buddy Brad
Make appointments too
You can talk to the hand
To get the lay of the land
‘Cuz I ain’t got time for you

I’m busy; don’t you know
I’ve got a seat behind Jack in the second row
I’m on the go, go, go
I’m a who’s who who

I ain’t got time for you
I ain’t got time for you

About the Artist
Buddy Moncrief Buddy Moncrief

Somewhere out on New Route 66, about 50 miles west of Sinatra and 75 miles east of Tom Waits, Swanson struts his swingin' and singin'. He loves Dave Frishberg songs and Johnny Walker in a tumbler. He'd like to hear Kurt Elling cover Stone Temple Pilots. Lonnie Johnson is God.

On his latest full-length release "We Can't Party Like We Used To" (2009 Acoustic SwaneeLand), Swanson pounds out 12 original vocal jazz cuts with a cool retro vibe. His bluesy vocals and tasty guitar licks remind of crooners past and present - Sinatra, Cole, John Pizzarelli come to mind - but his clever songwriting has a leaner, edgier feel to it that puts him squarely in the current century.
