Lazy Bones lyrics

LAZYBONES
Ted Lewis
(Carmichael/Mercer)
- lyrics as recorded in London, June 16, 1934 by The Mills Brothers

Mmm
Lazybones, sleepin` in the sun
How you spect to get your day`s work done?
I don`t wanna get my day`s work done
I`m sleepin` in this noon day sun

Lazybones, lyin` in the shade
How you spect to get your cornmeal made?
I don`t wanna get no cornmeal made
I`m sleepin` in this evening shade

When taters need sprayin`, oh, I bet you keep prayin`
The bugs fall off of the vine
I keep prayin` and when I go fishin` I always keep wishin`
That the fish don`t grab at my line

Lazybones, loafin` all the day
How you spect to make a dime that way
I don`t wanna make a dime no way
Can`t you see, I ain`t heard a word you say

Well, lookee here
