Lazy Bones Songtext
von Daryl Sherman

Long as there is chicken gravy on your rice
Everything is nice
Long as there′s a luscious melon on the vine
Everything is fine

You got no time to work
You got no time to play
Busy doing nothing all the livelong day
You won't ever change, no matter what I say
You′re just made that way

Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day′s work done
Sleeping in the noonday sun

Lazybones, sleeping in the shade
How you gonna get your cornmeal made?
Never get your cornmeal made
Just sleeping in the evening shade


When ′taters need spraying
I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off of the vine
And when you go fishing
I bet you keep wishing
The fish won't grab at your line

Lazybones, loafing through the day
How you ′spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
You never hear a word I say

When 'taters need spraying
I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off of the vine
And when you go fishing
I bet you keep wishing
The fish won′t grab at your line

Lazybones, loafing through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
You never hear a word I say

You got no time to work
You got no time to play
I guess you′re just made that way
