Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you expect to get your day′s work done?
You never get your day's work done
Sleeping in the noonday sun
Lazybones, sleeping in the shade
How you expect to get your cornmeal made?
You never get your cornmeal made
Sleeping in the evening shade
When taters need spraying
I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off of the vine (Yes you do)
And when you go fishing
I bet you keep wishing
The fish won′t tug at your line
Hey, hey, lazybones, sleeping all the day
How you expect to make a dime that way?
You never make a dime that way
Ah, he never heard a word I say
When taters need spraying
I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off of the vine (Yes you do)
And when you go fishing
I bet you keep wishing
The fish won't tug at your line
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, lazybones, sleeping all the day
How you expect to make a dime that way?
You never make a dime that way
Lookit here, he never heard a word I say
No, he never heard a word I say
