Paul Robeson – Lazy Bones Lyrics
Artist: Paul Robeson
Song: Lazy Bones
Lazy bones, sleepin’ in the sun
How you ’xpect to get your day’s work done?
Never get your day’s work done
Sleepin’ in the noon day sun
Lazy bones, sleepin’ in the shade
How you ‘xpect to get your cornmeal made?
Never get your cornmeal made (No son)
Sleepin’ in the evenin’ 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 fish won’t grab at your line
Lazy bones, loafin’ through the day
How you ’xpect to make a dime that way?
Nevеr make a dime that way (Now looky herе)
You better mind the words I say
As long as there’s chicken gravy on your right, I suppose everything is nice. As long as there’s a watermelon on the vine, everything is fine. You got no time to work, you got no time to play. Busy doin’ nothin’ all the little long days. And I knows you won’t ever change no matter what I say. You’re just made that way
Lazy bones, sleepin’ in the shade
How you ‘xpect to get your cornmeal made?
Never get your cornmeal made
Sleepin’ in the evenin’ 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 fish won’t grab at your line
Lazy bones, loafin’ through the day
How you ‘xpect to make a dime that way?
You’ll never make a dime that way (Ough)
Well looky here. He never heard a word I said
