Lazybones

(Johnny Mercer - Hoagy Carmichael)



Lazy bones sleepin' in the sun

How you think you gonna get your day work done

You'll never get your day work dones

Sleepin' in the noonday sun.



Lazy bones sleepin' in the shade

How you gonna get your corn meal made

You'll never get your corn meal made

Sleepin' in the noonday shade.



When taters need sprayin'

I bet you keep prayin' the bugs fall off of the vine

And when you go fishin'

I bet you keep wishin' the fish won't grab at your line.



Lazy bones loafin' through the day

how you 'spect you gonna make a dime that way

You'll never make a dime that way

Sleepin' in the noonday shade.



(Spoken part)

Lazy bones loafin' through the day

How you 'spect you gonna make a dime that way

You'll never make a dime that way

Sleepin' in the noonday shade...
