Spring Laziness

I git so lazy ev’ry spring

     I don’t know what to do;

Fact is, don’t wanter do at all,

     It makes me tired, to.

I kinder wanter set around

     An’ think uv doin’ things,

But when it comes to doin’ ‘em

     I don’t want to, I jings!

I guess it must be in the air,

     Or else it’s in the ground;

Can’t be in me, ef ‘twas I’d have

     It all the year around.

An’ so I set an’ set an’ set,

     An’ think an’ dread to walk;

I git so lazy ev’ry spring

     It makes me tired to talk.
