Lazy Lady
Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You sleep till eleven, like you're in heaven
Lazy lady, get out of bed
Oh lazy lady, get out of bed
Oh lazy lady, you heard what I said
You always go shopping, you do the town and
Lazy lady, don't need you around
You don't do housework, you don't make groceries
Lazy lady, gonna push you down
Oh lazy lady, get out of bed
Oh lazy lady, you heard what I said
You're so lazy, you're driving me crazy
Lazy lady, get out of bed
You call me honey, to get some money
Lazy lady, get out of bed
Oh lazy lady, get out of bed
Oh lazy lady, you heard what I said
Lazy lady, lazy lady, lazy lady, get out of bed
You sleep till eleven, like you're in heaven
Lazy lady, get out of bed
Oh lazy lady, get out of bed
Oh lazy lady, you heard what I said
The song "Lazy Lady" by Fats Domino is a playful and upbeat tune about a woman who is always sleeping in and not contributing to the household duties. In the first verse, the chorus repeats the catchphrase "Lazy lady, get out of bed" as her partner encourages her to wake up earlier and be more productive. The second verse highlights how the woman spends her days wasting time and money, such as going shopping and painting the town red. The third verse reveals that she uses pet names like "honey" to manipulate her partner into giving her money while she remains lazy.
Despite the humor in the lyrics, there is an underlying message about the importance of taking responsibility and being an active participant in life. The song is a reminder that laziness is not a desirable trait, and productivity should be a priority. Fats Domino's lively vocals and the accompanying piano make "Lazy Lady" a fun and entertaining song that has stood the test of time.
