Lazy Hound Dog Blues

The alarm goes off, I open my eyes to face the day I roll back over to sleep it away The wife begins to preach to me No work, unemployed, I am free I go to the unemployment office and talk to the man He looks at my state and says he will do what he can The man asks me which of the three jobs I choose I don't want a job, I guess I've got those Lazy Hound Dog Blues I go outside, sit at the bench and wait for the bus I've got nowhere to be, I ain't in no rush It's getting to be late in the afternoon Getting hungry and will be home soon My wife left me a note saying were through At the moment I don't care, it's the curse of the lazy hound dog blues I tell myself tomorrow I will look for a job Gotta clean myself up, no one will hire a slob The alarm goes off I hit the snooze Not today, I am nagged by those lazy hound dog blues My wife calls, says she wants to work things out I try to explain, she begins to shout She won't listen what's the use I tell there is a cure for the flu But how do you shake the lazy hound dog blues
