Lazy Bones - Paul Robeson

作曲：Hoagy Carmichael/Johnny Mercer

Lazy bones sleepin' in the sun

How you 'spect 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 expect to get your corn meal made

Never get your corn meal made no sun

Sleepin' in the evening shade

When tainers 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 won't grab your line

Lazy bones loafin' through the day

How you 'xpect to make a dime that way

Never make a dime that way

Now look here

You better mind words I say

As long as there's a chicken gravy on your rice

I suppose everything is nice

As long as there's a watermelone on the bine

Everything is fine

You got no time to work

You got no time to play

Busy doin' nothing all the lifelong day

And you won't ever change

No matter what I say

You just made that way

Lazy bones sleepin' in the shade

How you expect to get your corn meal made

Never get your corn meal made

Sleepin' in the evening shade

When tainers 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 won't grab 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

Well look here

You never heard a word I say
