Lazybones - Hoagy Carmichael

You a good for nothin' lazybones

Long as there was chicken gravy on your rice

Everything is nice

Long as there's a watermelon on the vine

Everything is fine

You got no time to work you got no time to play

You're busy doing nothing all the live long day

But you won't ever change no matter what I say

You're just made that way

Lazybones sleeping in the sun

How you expect to get your day's work done

You'll never get your day's work done

Sleeping in the noonday sun

Lazybones sleeping in the shade

How you expect to get your corn meal made

You'll never get your corn meal made

Sleeping in the evening shade

Now when them taters need sprayin'

I bet you keep prayin'

That the bugs'll fall off of the vine

And when you go fishin'

I bet you keep wishin'

That the fish won't grab at your line

You're an old lazybones loafin' all the day

How you expect to make a dime that way

You'll never make a dime that way

You never hear a word I say

Now when them taters need sprayin'

I know you keep prayin'

That the bugs fall off of the vine

And when you go fishin'

I know you keep wishin'

That the fish won't grab at your line

You're an old lazybones loafin' all the day

Tell me how you expect to make a dime that way

Oh you'll never make a dime that way

Well look at you

You never heed a word I say

Sleeping all the day

You a good for nothin' lazybones
