LAZYBONESTed Lewis(Carmichael/Mercer)- lyrics as recorded in London, June 16, 1934 by The Mills BrothersMmmLazybones, sleepin' in the sunHow you spect to get your day's work done?I don't wanna get my day's work doneI'm sleepin' in this noon day sunLazybones, lyin' in the shadeHow you spect to get your cornmeal made?I don't wanna get no cornmeal madeI'm sleepin' in this evening shadeWhen taters need sprayin', oh, I bet you keep prayin'The bugs fall off of the vineI keep prayin' and when I go fishin' I always keep wishin'That the fish don't grab at my lineLazybones, loafin' all the dayHow you spect to make a dime that wayI don't wanna make a dime no wayCan't you see, I ain't heard a word you sayWell, lookee here
