Lazy Bones

Lazy Bones - Hoagy Carmichael/Mary Ford

Written by：Johnny Mercer/Hoagy Carmichael

Sleeping all the day

Lazy bones sleeping in the sun

How you espect to get your day's work done

You'll never get your day's work done

Sleeping in the noon day sun

Lazy bones sleeping in the shade

Now tell me

How you espect to get your corn meal made

You'll never get your corn meal made

Sleeping in the evening shade

When you 'tatos need sprayin'

I bet you keep prayin'

That the bugs fall off their vine

And when you go fishing

I bet you keep wishing

The fish won't grab at your line

You such lazy bones sleepin' all the day

Tell me

How you espect to make a dime that way

You'll ever make a dime that way

You never hear a word I say

Lazy bones sleeping all the day

How you espect to make a dime that way

You'll never make a dime that way

You never hear a word I say

Sleeping all the day

You're good for the lazy bone
