Lyrics I'm Lazy, That's All - Pearl Bailey

I'm lazy, that's all
Don't know the reason
Lazy, that's all
Can't be the season
'Cause whether it's spring
Summer, winter or fall
I'm doggone lazy, that's all
I know that I should
Go earn my livin'
Maybe I would consent to giving
To work all day long like some folks do
If I didn't have so much resting to do
People say, "You know, you ain't good for nothin'"
Well, it's just that nothing's good for me
I had a man, he was really somethin'
But making love took too much of my
Energy, ooh
I'm lazy, that's all
I know it's true
I'm lazy, that's all
So I'm telling you
Forget all my so-called ability
'Cause I know my own capacity
And I'm just a creature
Who was born to be
Ooh, so doggone lazy, that's all
Well, my momma say
"You know child, you just ain't good for nothin'"
Well, it's just that nothing's so good for me
I had a man, oh
He was really somethin'
But making love took too much of my
Energy, ooh
Oh, I'm so lazy
Yeah, child, I'm so lazy
Forget all my so-called ability
'Cause I know my own capacity
And I'm just a creature
Who was born to be
Oh, so doggone lazy, that's all
I'm lazy, that's all.
