Lazy Bones Lyrics
Lazy Bones - Mildred Bailey/The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra
Long as there is chicken gravy on your rice
Ev'rything is nice
Long as there's watermelon on the vine
Ev'rything is fine
You got no time to work
You got no time to play
Busy doin' nothin' all the live long day
You won't ever change no matter what I say
You're just made that way
Lazybones sleepin' in the sun
How you 'spec' 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 'spec' to get your corn meal made
Never get your corn meal made
Sleepin' in the evenin' shade
When 'taters need sprayin'
I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you fo fishin'
I bet you keep wishin'
The fish won't grab at your line
Lazybones loafin' through the day
Now you 'spec' to make a dime that way
Never make a dime that way
Well looky here
He never heard a word I say
When 'taters need sprayin'
I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you fo fishin'
I bet you keep wishin'
The fish won't grab at your line
Lazybones loafin' through the day
Now you 'spec' to make a dime that way
Never make a dime that way
Well looky here
He never heard a word I say
