Lazybones

(johnny mercer/hoagy carmichael)

Lazy bones

sleeping, sleeping in a noon day sun

tell me, how you spect to get your days work done

days work done

you'll never get your days work done

Sleeping, lazy bones

sleeping in a noon day sun

when day's dusk means praying

i bet you keep praying

that all the bugs fall off the vine

And when you go fishing

i bet you keep wishing

that the fish would never never grab your line

you old lazy bones

loafin, loafin all through the day

tell me how you spect to make a dime that way

dime that way

you'll never make a dime that way

Well look at him, lazy bones

never hear a word i say

lazy bones
