Lazy John

We're going to dance Saturday night
We're gonna dance til the broad daylight
Then I'll walk my baby back home
Why don't you get away lazy John

Chorus:
Lazy John, lazy John
Why don't you get your day's work all done
You're in the shade and I'm in the sun
Why don't you get away lazy John

I've got a girl who lives in the town
Her hair is curly and her eyes are brown,
My heart says stay, my feet say run
What'll I do old lazy John

Every night when I go home
It's peas in the pot and the old jawbone
Here today, tomorrow gone
Why don't you get away lazy John

We're gonna dance like it's Saturday night
We're not coming home 'til the morning light
I'll shine my shoes and I'll see my hon'
Why don't you go away lazy John

Extra Verses:

Work all week in the noon day sun
Fifteen cents when Saturday comes
Goin to a dance to have some fun
Why don't you get away lazy John

Got a gal lives down the road
Her eyes are crooked and her legs are bowed
But we sure have a lot of fun
Why don't you get away lazy John
