Lazy Bones Lyrics
Lazy Bones - Paul Robeson
Written by：Mercer/Carmichael
Lazy bones sleepin' in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done
Never get your day's work done
Sleepin' in the noon day sun
Lazy bones sleepin' in the shade
How you expect to get your corn meal made
Never get your corn meal made no sun
Sleepin' in the evening shade
When tainers need sprayin'
I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishin'
I bet you keep wishin'
The fish won't grab at your line
Lazy bones loafin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way
Never make a dime that way
Now look here
You better mind words I say
As long as there's a chicken gravy on your rice
I suppose everything is nice
As long as there's a watermelone on the bine
Everything is fine
You got no time to work
You got no time to play
Busy doin' nothing all the live long day
I know you won't ever change
No matter what I say
You just made that way
Lazy bones sleepin' in the shade
How you expect to get your corn meal made
Never get your corn meal made
Sleepin' in the evening shade
When tainers need sprayin'
I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishin'
I bet you keep wishin'
The fish won't grab at your line
Lazy bones loafin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way
You'll never make a dime that way
Well look here
You never heard a word I say
