Lazy Bones
>
Lazybones, sleepin' in the sun
How you 'xpect to get your day's work done?
You'll never get your day's work done
Sleepin' in the noonday sun!
Lazybones, sleepin' in the shade
How you 'xpect to get your corn meal made?
You'll never get your corn meal made
Sleepin' in the evening' shade!
Now when them taters need sprayin'
I bet you keep prayin'
That the bugs'll fall off the vine!
And when you go fishin'
I bet you keep wishin'
That the fish won't grab your line!
Well.. Lazybones, loafin' all the day
How you 'xpect to make a dimе that way?
Never make a dimе that way
'Cause you never hear a word I say!
(Piano solo)
And when you go fishin'
I know you keep wishin'
That the fish won't grab at your line!
Lazybones, loafin' all the day
Tell me, how you 'xpect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
'Cause you never hear a word I say!
Never hear a word I say!
Why don't you get up
Get up and live a little
Come on and live, lazy bones!
