Bobbie Gentry - Lazy Willie lyrics

Get up, lazy Willie, there's work to be done Out of seventeen kids, you're the laziest one Pigs in the kitchen and the roosters in the pig stye 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 Umm hmm, umm Get up, lazy Willie, up and outta that bed There's cows to be milked and mule's to be fed Thin the corn, harvest the soybeans And help me set the table for our company 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 Umm hmm, umm Don't you remember, lazy Willie, what moma would say? That all summer long the gra**hopper would play The ant would work hard stowing up his winter supply And when the snow came the ant lived, the gra**hopper died Lazy Willie, well, ants work hard and gra**hoppers play Tuh tuh twee di twee di dee, tuh tuh twee Oh, Lazy Willie, you're gonna sprout green legs and hop away Gonna ha-hop away
