Lazybones, sleepin' in the sun
How do you expect to get your day's work done
You'll never get your day's work done
Lyin' in the noonday sun

Lazybones, sleepin'in the shade
How you gonna get your cornmeal made
You'll never get your cornmeal made
Lyin' in the noonday sun

When the'taters need sprayn'
I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishin'
I bet you keep wishin'
The fish don't grab at your line

Lazybones, loafin' through the day
How do you expect to make a dime that way
You'll never make a dime that way
You'll never hear a word I say
