[Verse 1]
Lazybones, sleepin’ in the sun
How’d you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleeping in the noonday sun

[Verse 2]
Lazy bones, sleepin’ in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
Never get your corn meal made
Sleeping in the evening shade

[Bridge]
When 'taters need sprayin’, bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off of the line
And when you go fishin’, I bet you keep wishin’
The fish won't grab at your line

[Verse 3]
Lazybones, loafin' all the day
How’d you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Nevеr make a dime that way
You nevеr heard a word I say

[Bridge]
When 'taters need sprayin’, I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off of the vines, blat!
When you go fishin’, I bet you keep wishin’
The fish won't grab at your line
[Verse 3]
Lazybones, loafin' all the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
You never heard a word I say
