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?

Never make a dime that way (Now looky here)

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 livelong day. And I knows you won't ever change no matter what I say. You're just made that way

You'll never make a dime that way (Ough)

Well looky here. He never heard a word I said
