14. Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun
Edited on Thu Sep-11-03 11:16 AM by trof
How you spect to get your day's work done?
I don't wanna get my day's work done
I'm sleepin' in this noon day sun

Lazybones, lyin' in the shade
How you spect to get your cornmeal made?
I don't wanna get no cornmeal made
I'm sleepin' in this evening shade

When taters need sprayin', oh, I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off of the vine
I keep prayin' and when I go fishin' I always keep wishin'
That the fish don't grab at my line

Lazybones, loafin' all the day
How you spect to make a dime that way
I don't wanna make a dime no way
Can't you see, I ain't heard a word you say

11. Didn't you know?
In every state except for Washington, Oregon, California, and the Northeast Atlantic Coast, we all kick puppies and export sadness everywhere. We are the cause for all woe in the world.

21. Yeah, right. Hooray for me!
"Nothing deflates a hot air balloon like the gentle prick of humor."
No...wait...that doesn't sound right.

29. Ah, the scattergun approach.
So, we're all tarred with the same brush.
Birds of a feather flock together?
Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas?
Penny wise and pound foolish.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Tippecanoe and Tyler too.
or something
mutter...mumble
