There's the coon from Alabama,
way down South, Honey O! Honey O!
His feet are very large and
just the same his mouth,
Honey O! Honey O!
He's just a trifle crazy
and Oh! he is so lazy;
but at motion he's a daisy,
Honey O! Honey O!

Get up you lazy coon,
go 'way from me!
Rise up, you lazy loon,
I hate to see!
Honey, you rascal black,
you are so slow;
Don't you ever come back, Honey O!

There's the coon who's always looking
for a tip, Honey O! Honey O!
He never lets a good thing slipe
sliedip, Honey O! Honey O!
He's yaller and he's sassy
His ways are very brassy,
and he whistles "Bonnie Lassie"
Honey O! Honey O!

Get up you lazy coon,
go 'way from me!
Rise up, you lazy loon,
I hate to see!
Honey, you rascal black,
you are so slow;
Don't you ever come back, Honey O!

There's ole Uncle Rasmus
walking with a cane,
Honey O! Honey O!
And just you watch him as he
shuffles down the lane,
Honey O! Honey O!
He is so fond of pickin'
a turkey or a chicken,
he would take it for a lickin'
Honey O! Honey O!

Get up you lazy coon,
go 'way from me!
Rise up, you lazy loon,
I hate to see!
Honey, you rascal black,
you are so slow;
Don't you ever come back, Honey O!
