[Verse 1]
Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun
How you ’xpect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleepin’ in the noon day sun

[Verse 2]
Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade
How you 'xpect to get your cornmeal made?
Never get your cornmeal made (No son)
Sleepin' in the evenin' shade

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Lazy bones, loafin' through the day
How you ’xpect to make a dime that way?
Nevеr make a dime that way (Now looky herе)
You better mind the words I say
[Break]
As long as there's chicken gravy on your right, I suppose everything is nice. As long as there's a watermelon on the vine, everything is fine. You got no time to work, you got no time to play. Busy doin' nothin’ all the livelong day. And I knows you won't ever change no matter what I say. You're just made that way

[Verse 2]
Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade
How you 'xpect to get your cornmeal made?
Never get your cornmeal made
Sleepin' in the evenin' shade

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Lazy bones, loafin' through the day
How you 'xpect to make a dime that way?
You'll never make a dime that way (Ough)

[Outro]
Well looky here. He never heard a word I said
