Lazy willie

Get up lazy
Willie, theres 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 grasshopper would play
The ant would work hard stowing up his winter supply
And when the snow came the ant lived, the grasshopper died
Lazy
Willie, well ants work hard and grasshoppers 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
