A D9 F7 E7 F7 E7 A E7
Long as there is chicken gravy on your rice, ev'rything is nice;
A D9 F7 E7 F7 E7 A D9 A
Long as there's a watermelon on the vine, ever'thing is fine.
A7 G7 F#7 F7 F#7
You've got no time to work, no time to play,
B7 F7 E7
Busy doin' nothin' all the live long day;
A D9 F7 E7
You won't ever change, no matter what I say --
F7 E7 A
You're just made that way.

When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin'
D9 C° 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.
