[Verse 1]
Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you expect to get your day's work done
You can't get your day's work done
Sleeping in the noon day sun

[Verse 2]
Lazybones, laying in the shade
How you gonna get your cornmeal made
You can't get no cornmeal made
Sleeping in that evening shade

[Verse 3]
When taters need spraying, I bet you keep praying
The bugs'll fall off of the vine
And when you go fishing I bet you keep wishing
Them fish don't grab your line

[Verse 4]
Lazybones, loafing all the day
How you expect to make a dime that way
Never make a dime that way
You nevеr hear a word I say

[Outro]
Never makе a dime that way
You never hear a word I say
