Lazy Bones

Intro: Verse Long as there is chicken gravy on your rice, ev'rything is nice Long as there's a watermelon on the vine, ever'thing is fine You've got no time to work, no time to play Busy doin' nothin' all the live long day You won't ever change, no matter what I say You're just made that way Melody Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun How you 'spect to get your day's work done You'll never get your day's work done sleepin' in the noon day sun Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made You'll never get your cornmeal made sleepin' in the evening shade Bridge When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin' The bugs fall off the vine And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin' That 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 Never heard a word I say. Interlude: When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin' The bugs fall off the vine And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin' That the fish won't grab at your line Never heard a word I say.
