Lazy Songtext
von Al Jolson

Every time, I see a puppy on a summer′s day
A puppy dog at play
My heart is filled with envy
That's why I′m in such a hurry to pass the time away
Like that pup, I'm all fed up
And though it's wrong to be, I long to be lazy

I wanna be lazy
I′m longing to lay in the sun
With no work to be done

Under that awning, they call the sky
Stretching and yawning
And let the world go drifting by

I wanna peep through the deep
Tangled wild wood
Counting sheep ′til I sleep
Like a child would


With a great big valise full
Of books to read where it's peaceful
While I′m killing time being lazy

Lazy, I wanna be lazy
I'm longing to lay in the sun
With no work to be done
Under that awning they call the sky
Stretching and yawning
And let the world go drifting by

I wanna peep through the deep
Tangled wild wood
Counting sheep ′til I sleep
Like a child would
With a great big valise full
Of books to read where it's peaceful
While I′m killing time being lazy

While I'm killing time being lazy
