Yo’ can’t bo a boo or an early bird, So, cliilo, don’t try To buzz or fly, t Jes’ oat tlio worms an’ do honey, Ef yo’ ain’t got- no money Doii yo’ don’t have to buy, An’ yo’ can’t tie dis nigger to an ole time-card, Fo’ we’d rather do nothin’ than work too hard— Wo’d rather do nothin’ than work too hard. Wo’d like to be where it’s soft- an’ warm, Jes’ a-lazin’ along, Singin’ a song, An’ it- ain’t all talkin’, An’ we’d havo some walkin’, An’ we don’ feel strong. An’ vo’ can’t tie dis nigger to an ole
time-card, Fo’ wo’d rather do noMind than work too hard— . , , We’d rather do nothin than work too hard.
