The Supremes - Lazy Bones lyrics

rate me

(Johnny Mercer/Hoagy Carmichael)

Lazybones, sleepin' in the sun

How you 'spect to get your day's work done?

Never get your day's work done

I'm sleepin' in this noon day sun

Lazybones, lyin' in the shade

How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?

Never get your cornmeal made

I'm sleepin' in this evening shade

When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin'

The bugs fall off of the vine

And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'

The the fish don't grab at your line

Lazybones, loafin' all the day

How you gonna' make a dime that way

Never make a dime that way

Never hear a word I say
