Lazybones

Johnny Mercer (lyrics); Hoagy Carmichael (music) - 1933

in C

CLazy-Fbones, Clazin' in the Fsun,
CHow you 'spect to Fget your Cday's work C7done?
EmYou can't get your day's work Dmdone
DmLayin' in the Gnoon day Csun G

CLazy-Fbones, Csleepin' in the Fshade,
How you gonna get your cornmeal made?
You can't get no cornmeal made
Sleepin' in that noon day 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',
Them fish don't grab your line.

Lazybones, loafin through the day,
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?
You'll never make a dime that way.
You never hear a word I say.
