Lyrics

Long as you got a little gravy on your rice
You figure everything gon' wind up real nice
As long as you got a little watermelon hangin' on a vine
You figure everything gon' turn out real fine
Lazybones, sleepin' in the sun
How you 'xpect to get you a day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleepin' in the noonday sun
You lazy sucker, you
Lazybones, sleepin' in the shade
How you 'xpect to get you a cornbread made?
Never get you a cornbread made
Sleepin' in the evenin' shade
When taters need sprayin', bet you keep a-prayin'
The bugs fall off of the vine
When you go fishin', bet you keep wishin'
The fish won't pull at your line
Lazybones, loafin' through the day
How you 'xpect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Look at that sucker, never heard a word I say
Scroungy old lazybones, you laugh when ain't nobody home
Long as you got some chitlins in your pie, you figure you got a lot
Long as you got a bed in your pad, wake up feelin' real glad
Long as you got a chair on your porch, somewhere to fire up your roach
Long as you got a match, you don't care if your pants ain't patched
Too lazy to pick up on a woman
You're too lazy to know that you a human
Scroungy as the day is long
Scroungy old lazybones
Scroungy as the day is long
Scroungy old lazybones
Scroungy, you got holes in your shoes
Too lazy to know you got the blues
