Lazybones

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

Lazybones, loafing through the day

How you 'spect to get a dime that way?

Never make a dime that way

Never heard a word I say
