Lazybones, sleeping in the sun, How you 'spect to get your day's work done? Never get your day's work done, Lyin' in the noon day sun. Lazybones, sleepin' in the shade, How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made? Never get your cornmeal made, Sleepin' in the noon day shade. When the 'taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin' The bugs fall off the vine. And when you go fishin', I bet you keep wishin' The fish don't grab at your line! Lazybones, Lyin' through the day, How you 'spect to make a dime that way? Never make a dime that way. You never heard a word I say! |

13 Apr 21 - 12:55 AM (#4102053) Subject: ADD: Lazybones (Mercer & Carmichael) From: Joe Offer Ah, here it is. LAZYBONES (Words by Johnny Mercer, Music by Hoagy Carmichael) Long as there is chicken gravy on your rice, Ev’rything is nice. Long as there’s watermelon on the vine, Ev'rything is fine. You got no time to work, You got 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. Lazybones, Sleepin’ in the sun, How you ‘spec’ to get your day’s work done? Never get your day’s work done, Sleepin’ in the noonday sun. Lazybones, sleepin’ in the shade, How you ‘spec’ to get your corn meal made? Never get your corn meal made Sleepin’ in the evenin’ shade. When ‘taters need sprayin’, l bet you keep prayin’ The bugs fall off of the vine And when you go fishin’ I bet you keep wishin’ The fish won’t grab at your line. Lazybones, loafin’ thru the day, How you ‘spec’ to make a dime that way? Never make a dime that way (Well looky here,) He never heared a word I say! Published in 1933, the first real hit for Johnny Mercer Source: Johnny Mercer: The Life, Times, and Song Lyrics of Our Huckleberry Friend by Bob Bach and Ginger Mercer (Secaucus NJ, Lyle Stuart, Inc., 1982) page 34 Hoagy Carmichael recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlOA4Z0AHfw The vocalist isn't identified.
