A coon was brought
into the court,
the cop had found him
sleeping on the street,
"You're but a common vagrant,"
said the justice,
"and sixty days
is good and sweet,"
the coon replied:
"Excuse me please,
I've got a home
and I'm a millionaire,"
so when the justice said:
"where are you living,"
he sang out with
a careless air:

I live in Lazyland,
down by a rippling stream,
anything I want
I can always get
when I go to sleep and dream,
I've automobiles
and diamond rings
and palaces rich and grand,
It's always been
my permanent residence
I live in Lazyland.

I live in Lazyland,
down by a rippling stream,
anything I want
I can always get
when I go to sleep and dream,
I've automobiles
and diamond rings
and palaces rich and grand,
It's always been
my permanent residence
I live in Lazyland.

The justice said: "Alright for you,
and since you do things on so big a scale,
I'm satisfied
to let you have your freedom,
if you'll put up a thousand bail,"
That coon looked sad,
that coon looked bad,
at first they thought
that he was feeling sick,
until he said:
"if you must have the money,
I'll go to sleep
and get it quick."

I live in Lazyland,
down by a rippling stream,
anything I want
I can always get
when I go to sleep and dream,
I've automobiles
and diamond rings
and palaces rich and grand,
It's always been
my permanent residence
I live in Lazyland.

I live in Lazyland,
down by a rippling stream,
anything I want
I can always get
when I go to sleep and dream,
I've automobiles
and diamond rings
and palaces rich and grand,
It's always been
my permanent residence
I live in Lazyland
