Lyrics
Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun How you ’xpect to get your day's work done? Never get your day's work done Sleepin’ in the noon day sun Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade How you 'xpect to get your cornmeal made? Never get your cornmeal made (No son) Sleepin' in the evenin' shade When taters need sprayin' I bet you keep prayin' The bugs fall off of the vine And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin’ The fish won’t grab at your line Lazy bones, loafin' through the day How you ’xpect to make a dime that way? Nevеr make a dime that way (Now looky herе) You better mind the words I say As long as there's chicken gravy on your right, I suppose everything is nice. As long as there's a watermelon on the vine, everything is fine. You got no time to work, you got no time to play. Busy doin' nothin’ all the little long days. And I knows you won't ever change no matter what I say. You're just made that way Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade How you 'xpect to get your cornmeal made? Never get your cornmeal made Sleepin' in the evenin' shade When taters need sprayin' I bet you keep prayin' The bugs fall off of the vine And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin' The fish won't grab at your line Lazy bones, loafin' through the day How you 'xpect to make a dime that way? You'll never make a dime that way (Ough) Well looky here. He never heard a word I said
