Lazybones

Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleeping in the noonday sun

Lazybones, sleeping in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
Never get your cornmeal made
Sleeping in the evening shade

When taters need spraying, I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishing, I bet you keep wishing
The fish won't grab at your line

Lazybones, loafing through the day
How you 'spect to get a dime that way?
Never get a dime that way
Well look here, he never had a word to say

And when you go fishing, I bet you keep wishing
The fish would grab at your line

Lazybones, loafing through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Well look here, he never heard a word I say
What's the matter with you, boy?
He never heard a word I say
