Lazy Bones Songtext
von Willard White

Long as there′s chicken gravy on your rice
Everything is nice
Long as there's a watermelon on the vine
Everything is fine
You got no time to work, you got no time to play
Busy doin′ nothin' all the livelong day
You won't ever change, no matter what I say
You′re just made that way

Lazybones, sleepin′ in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day′s work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleepin′ in the noonday sun
Lazybones, sleepin' in the shade
How you ′spect to get your cornmeal made?
Never get your cornmeal made
Sleepin' in the noonday shade


When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin′
The slugs fall off of the vine
And when you go fishin′, I bet you keep wishin'
The fish won′t grab at your line

Lazybones, loafin' through the day
How you ′spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Listen to these words I say

When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin′
Them slugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishin', I guess you keep wishin'
The fish won′t grab at your line
You won′t have to pull 'em in then

Lazybones, loafin′ through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Listen to these words I say
Never make a dime that way

He never heard a word I say
