Lyrics Lazybones - Nellie McKay

Lazybones

Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day’s work done?
Never get your day’s work done
Sleeping in the noonday sun
Lazybones, sleeping in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
Never get your corn meal made
Sleeping in the evening shade
When 'taters need sprayin' I know you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishing I bet you keep wishing
The fish won’t grab at your line
Lazybones, loafin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Never hear a word I say
When 'taters need sprayin' I know you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishing, I bet you keep wishing
The fish won’t grab at your line
Lazybones, loafin' through the day
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way, well lookee here
Never hear a word I say
