Harry Connick Jr. - Lazybones

[Johnny Adams]

You know I'm gettin' tired of doing all the work myself.

[Harry Connick]

Man, you ain't doin' all the work!

[Johnny Adams]

I just can't seem to get any help around here.

[Harry Connick]

Oh Johnny, don't give me that, man.

[Johnny Adams]

Can't you hear me?

[Harry Connick]

I hear you, baby!!

[Johnny Adams]

No, I guess not.

[Johnny Adams]

Lazybones1, sleeping in the sun.

How you 'spect2 to get your day's work done?

Never get your day's work done,

Sleeping in the noonday sun.

[Harry Connick]

Now, that's your side of the story, Johnny.

[Johnny Adams]

Tell me yours.

[Harry Connick]

I'm about to tell ya now.

[Harry Connick]

Oh lazybones, sleepin' in the shade.

How ya 'spect ta get your cornmeal made?

You'll never get your cornmeal made,

Just sleepin' in the evenin' shade.

[Johnny Adams]

When taters3 need spraying,

I'll bet you keep praying

The bugs fall off the vine.

[Harry Connick]

And when ya go fishin',

I bet you keep wishin'

The fish won't grab your line. Oh no.

[Johnny Adams]

Lazybones! Loafing through the day!

How you 'spect to get a dime that way?

Never make a dime that way,

Never heard a word I say.

[Organ music featured]

[Johnny Adams]

When taters need spraying,

I'll bet you keep praying

The bugs fall off the vine.

[Harry Connick]

And when ya go fishin',

I bet you keep wishin'

The fish won't grab your line.

[Johnny Adams]

Lazybones! (Lazybones) Loafing through the day! (Through the day)

How you 'spect to get a dime that way?

Never make a dime that way, (Well lookie here)

Never heard a word I say.

[Harry Connick]

Man, you ain't workin'.

[Johnny Adams]

I don't get a chance to go fishing. I have to do all the work.

[Harry Connick]

Ah you think so, huh?

[Johnny Adams]

I know so.

[Harry Connick]

I ain't seen no fish.

[Johnny Adams]

They don't bite because you still sleepin'.

[Harry Connick]

That's 'cause you set my alarm clock four hours later just so you could brag about working.

[Johnny Adams]

You don't even get a nibble!

[Harry Connick]

'Cause you ain't usin' the right bait, man.

1. Lazybones = Lazy bones2. How you 'spect = How do you expect3. Taters = Potatoes
