Song Title: 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:
La - zy - 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.
La - zy - bones, sleepin in the shade,
How you spect to get your cornmeal made?
You ll never get your cornmeal made sleepin in the eve - ning 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.
La - zy - 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.
