Capo 4
Bm/F# F# G (x2)
Bm/F# F# G
They've come to find you Odalisque
As the light dies horribly
F#m F#sus4 Bm
On a fire escape you walk
F#m Bm/F# G F#m
All rare and resolved to drop
And when they find you odalisque
They will rend you terribly
Stitch from stitch till all
Your linen and limbs will fall
E E E G G
E G G E A E G G E G G
Lazy lady had a baby girl and a sweet sound it made, la ah...
Raised on pradies, peanut shells and dirt in the railroad culdesac, la ah ah...
A B7 A A7
And what do we do with 10 baby shoes, a kit bag full of marbles
F Em D C D E
And a broken billiard cue, what do we do, what do we do
E E E G G (x2)
La ah...
Fifteen stitches will mend those britches right, and then rip them down again, la ah...
Sapling switches will rend those rags alright, what a sweet sound it makes, la ah...
And what do we do with 10 dirty jews, a thirty-ought full of rock salt
Em D C D F#5 F#5 F#5 F#5 F#5 F#5...
And a warm afternoon, what do we do, what do we do
F#5 F#5... G G F#5 F#5...
Lay your belly under mine you're naked under me, under me
Such a filthy dimming shine, the way you kick and scream, kick and scream
B F#5 F#5 F#5 B
And what do we do with ten baby shoes, a kit bag full of marbles
And a broken billiard cue, what do we do, what do we do
E E E G G (x2)
La ah...
E G G E A E
Lazy lady had a baby girl, and a sweet sound it made
