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 no cornmeal made
Sleepin' in that noon day shade
When taters need sprayin' I'll bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off of the vine
And when you go fishin' I'll bet you keep wishin'
Them fish don't bite at your line
Yeah, lazy bones loafin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way
You'll never make no dime that way
Well, I declare you never heard a word I say
