Lazy bones
Sleepin' in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
You never get your day's work done
Sleepin' in the noon-day sun
Lazy bones
Sleepin' in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
You never get your cornmeal made
Sleepin' in the evenin' shade
Potatoes need sprayin'
I bet you keep prayin'
Bugs fall over the line
And when you go fishin'
I bet you keep wishin'
The fish won't tug at your line
Hey, lazy bones
Sleepin' all the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
You never make a dime that way
Ah, he never heard a word I say
Potatoes need sprayin'
I bet you keep prayin'
Bugs fall over the vine
And when you go fishin'
I bet you keep wishin'
The fish won't tug at your line
Hey hey hey...
Oh, lazy bones
Sleepin' all the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Lookie here! He never heard a word I say
Yeah, he never heard a word I say!
