Lazy Bones
Hoagy Carmichael / Johnny Mercer
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 noonday Sun
Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade
How you 'spect to get your corn meal made?
Never get your corn meal made
Sleepin' in the evening shade
When taters need sprayin'
I bet you keep prayin'
Worms fall off of the vine
And when you go fishin'
I bet you'll be wishin'
Fish would jump on the line
Lazy bones, dozin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Never heard a word I say
