Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
You'll never get your day's work done sleepin' in the noon day sun

Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
You'll never get your cornmeal made sleepin' in the evening shade

When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine;
And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'
That the fish won't grab at your line

Lazy bones, loafin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
You'll never make a dime that way. Never heard a word I say

When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine;
And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'
That the fish won't grab at your line

Lazy bones, loafin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
You'll never make a dime that way. Never heard a word I say
