The Eagles - Busy Being Fabulous Lyrics
I came home to an empty house
And I found your little note
“Don’t wait up for me tonight”
And that was all she wrote
Do you think I don’t know that
you’re out on the town
With all of your high-rollin’ friends?
What do you do when you come up empty?
Where do you go when the party ends?
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
I don’t know what you were dreaming of
Somehow you forgot about love
And you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh
A little time in the country
A day or two to slow down
A bottle of wine and a walk in the moonlight
Maybe some foolin’ around
But you think time is just a magazine
And money’s just a thrill
I’ve waited so long for you to
change your way of livin’
Now I realize that you never will
‘Cause you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
Lookin’ for something you’ll never find
You’ll never know what you left behind
‘Cause you were just too busy
being fabulous, uh-huh
You tell a joke and everybody’s laughin’
That’s something you know how to do
You’ve always been the life of the party
But now my baby, the joke is on you
‘Cause you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
Running after something that never comes
What in the world are you runnin’ from?
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
To drink the wine from your winner’s cup
To notice the children were growin’ up
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy, too busy
Too busy
Aw, baby
The Eagles - Busy Being Fabulous Song Info
Oddly, Henly is credited as playing drums on this song; however, he plays acoustic guitar in the video alongside Glenn Frey, who both appear to be playing the same guitar chords. Interspersed with the performance is the story of the song as it happens, featuring the band playing several different roles at once: Timothy B. Schmidt as a waiter, Glenn Frey as a bartender, Joe Walsh as both a policeman and a security guard. His sidekick for both roles is a monkey. Don Henley as both a party goer and Walsh’s police partner.
The video also marks the first time Steuart Smith has appeared in any Eagles video.

Listening to Henley after your comment, I have to say that IS Henley on drums, just by his style. Don’t forget, Videos are just “sight music”
