Johnny Mercer
Lazybones
Lazybones
Sleepin' in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done
Never get your days work done
Sleepin' in the noonday sun

Lazybones
Sleepin' in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made
Never get your cornmeal made
Sleepin' in the evening 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

Lazybones
Loafin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way
Never make a dime that way
Never hear a word I say

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
Lazybones
Loafin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way
Never make a dime that way
Well, looky here
Never hear a word I say
