Lazybones sleeping in the sun

How you 'spect to get your day's work done

Never get your day's work done

Sleeping in the new day's sun

Lazybones sleepin' in the shade

How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made

You'll never get your cornmeal made

Just sleepin' in the evenin' shade

When 'taters need spraying I bet you keep praying

The bugs fall off the vine

And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'

The fish won't grab your line oh no

Lazybones loafing through the day

How you 'spect to get a dime that way

Never make a dime that way ha

Never heard a word I say

When 'taters need spraying I bet you keep praying

The bugs fall off the vine

And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'

The fish won't grab your line

Lazybones loafing through the day

How you 'spect to make a dime that way

Never make a dime that way well look here

Never heard a word I say
