Years ago I found the following poem that went something like this.
Get up, get up you lazy bones.
Get up, you lazy sinner.
We need your sheets for table clothes
companies for dinner.

something like that. One of my daughters reminded me of it today.
Can any one out there tell me who wrote it and if there are any more words to it.:brickwall

I am new to this forum and live in the Heart Of The Redwoods. Thanks loads

That's an old, old song which I just "Googled." Some list it as an Italian folk song; others say it was composed by
Paolo Citrella. Go to YouTube and see if there's a video of
"Lazy Mary." I seem to recall that Louis Prima, among others, had a hit record with it.
