Lazybones, sleepin' in the sun How do you expect to get your day's work done You'll never get your day's work done Lyin' in the noonday sun
Lazybones, sleepin'in the shade How you gonna get your cornmeal made You'll never get your cornmeal made Lyin' in the noonday sun
When the'taters need sprayn' I bet you keep prayin' The bugs fall off the vine And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin' The fish don't grab at your line
Lazybones, loafin' through the day How do you expect to make a dime that way You'll never make a dime that way You'll never hear a word I say
