Lazy Willie

Bobbie Gentry

[Verse 1]
Get up, Lazy Willie, there's work to be done
Out of 17 kids you're the laziest one
Pigs in the kitchen, and the roosters in the pig sty
And weeds in the garden busy growin' up knee high
Lazy Willie, look at you, ain't you a sight?
Tuh-tuh-twee, tuh-twee-dee-twee, tuh-tuh-twee
Lazy Willie, sleep all day and play all night
Um-hmm-mm, umm

[Verse 2]
Get up, Lazy Willie, up and outta that bed
There's cows to be milked and the mules to be fed
Thin the corn, harvest the soybeans
And help me set the table for our comp'ny from New Orleans
Lazy Willie, wake up you ain't heard a word I said
Tuh-tuh-twee, tuh-twee-dee-twee, tuh-tuh-twee
Lazy Willie, you gotta get up in time to go to bed
Um-hmm, umm

[Verse 3]
Don't you remember, Lazy Willie, what Momma used to say?
That all summer long the grasshopper would play
The ant would work hard storin' up his winter supply
When the snow came ant lived, the grasshopper died
Lazy Willie, well ants work hard, and grasshoppers play
Tuh-tuh-twee, tuh-twee-dee-twee, tuh-tuh-twee
Oh, Lazy Willie, you're gonna sprout green legs and hop away
Gonna ha-ha-hop away
