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
