[Verse 1]
Some gal told me today
"Boy you're wasting your life away"
Said "It's a bad way you spend your time
"Boy you're never gonna make a dime"

[Chorus]
I like to sleep late in the morning
I don't like to wear no shoes
Make love to the women
While I'm living
Get drunk from a bottle of booze

[Verse 2]
No this can't go on
To get up each day at dawn
Get a job and do it right
You're back to bed every single night

[Chorus]
But I like to sleep late in the morning
I don't like to wear no shoes
Make love to the women
While I'm living
Get drunk from a bottle of booze
[Verse 3]
A lot's waitin' for me
Straight is how how I could be
Smiling all the time
I got my hair cut and my shoes shined

[Chorus]
But I like to sleep late in the morning
I don't like to wear no shoes
Make love to the women
While I'm living
Get drunk from a bottle of booze

[Verse 4]
A gal told me today (What'd she say?)
"Boy, you're wasting you life away" (Oy vey)
She said "It's bad, bad the way you spend your time
"You're never gonna make a dime"

[Chorus]
But I like to sleep late in the morning
I don't like to wear no shoes
Make love to the women
While I'm living
Get drunk from a bottle of booze
[Outro]
Yeah I like to sleep late in the morning
I don't like to wear no shoes
Make love to the women
While I'm swimming
Get drunk from a bottle of booze
I like to sleep late in the morning
I don't like to wear no shoes
Make love to the women
While I'm swimming
And then get drunk from a bottle of booze
