Lyr Req: I Like to Sleep Late in the Morning

Can anyone help me with verses to a bluesy, almost rag-timey, tune with this chorus:

"I like to sleep late in the mornin'

Don't like to wear no shoes

Make love to the women while I'm livin',

Get drunk on a bottle a'booze."

I remember that much from a version I heard by David Bromberg years ago.

Any help is, as always, appreciated.

Written by S. David Cohen (aka David Blue) recorded by David Bromberg on "Midnight on the Water."

I Like to Sleep Late in the Morning

Some gal told me today
Boy you're wasting your life away
She said it's bad how I spend my time
Said I'll never make a dime

Chorus
I like to sleep late in the morning
I don't like to wear no shoes
Make love to the women while I'm livin
Get drunk on a bottle of booze

I know I can't keep livin this way
Being broke from day to day
I gotta stop my running around
Get a job and settle down

Chorus

I know this can't go on
I should be up each day by dawn
Get a job and do it right
Be in bed by eight each night

Chorus

There's a lot waiting for me
Straight is how it should be
I'll be smiling all the time
Get my hair cut and sneakers shined

Chorus

Some gal told me today
Boy you're wasting your life away
Said it's bad how I spend your time
Said I'll never make a dime

Chorus

Earl,

You are a pearl beyond price, my friend! Your post arrives just in time for me to practice up for an outdoor deck party/folk and blues jam we're hosting tomorrow. Many thanks!

MD, My pleasure. Your request has given me the incentive to actually learn the song myself after 20 years of procrastination.
