Lazybones
Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Carmichael
Lazybones, sleepin' in the sun
How'd you 'spect to get your day's work done
You never get your day's work done
Lyin' in the noonday sun
Lazybones, sleepin' in the shade
How'd you gonna get your cornmeal made
You never get your cornmeal made
Lyin' in the noneday shade
(bridge)
When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine
When you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'
The fish don't grab at your line
Lazybones, loafin' through the day
How'd you 'spect to make a dime that way
You never make a dime that way
Never heard a word I say

The fish don't grab at your line
Lazybones, loafin' through the day
How'd you 'spect to make a dime that way
You never make a dime that way
Never heard a word I say
