Lyrics
Lazy John, Lazy John,
Tell me where you been?
Just got back from Lazy Town and I’m goin’ back again.

Chorus:
O-ho baby, o-ho, o-ho baby, o-ho.
O-ho baby, o-ho, I’m goin’ back again.

Lazy John, Lazy John,
Who’s your family?
My folks made whiskey in the woods
An’ slep in a holler tree.

Chorus:
Oh, baby, o-ho (3)
An’ slep in a holler tree.

Lazy John, Lazy John,
Tell me what you know,
You the sweetest girl I’ve seen this week
An’ I just must tell you so.

Chorus
Oh, baby, o-ho (3)
An’ I just must tell you so.

Lazy John, Lazy John
Tell me, what you mean.
Got a dozen girls in love with me,
Want you to be thirteen.

Chorus:
Oh, baby, o-ho (3)
Want you to be thirteen.

Lazy John, Lazy John,
Tell me where you gwine
Goin’ down to Lazy Town,
To wear you off my mind.

Chorus:
Oh, baby, o-ho (3)
And wear you off my mind.
