Lazybones - Nellie McKay

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
