You're just made that way.

A  A7      D9     A       A7     D9
La - zy - bones, sleepin' in the sun,

You'll never get your day's work done sleepin' in the noon day sun.

A  A7      D9     A       A7     D9
La - zy - bones, sleepin' in the shade,

Bridge:

A7    D            D6         A
When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin'

     D9       Cdim     A
The bugs fall off the vine;

     A           G#7       G7            F#7
And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'

          D9         F7            E7
That the fish won't grab at your line.

A  A7      D9     A       A7     D9
La - zy - bones, loafin' through the day,

A          A7     D9       A        A7
How you 'spect to make a dime that way?

        D9           Dm   Dm7 E7    D9             F7  E7 A
You'll never make a dime that way.  Never heard a word I say.
