The Lazy Song is off of Mars’ “Doo-Wop & Hooligans” record. The song was a big deal for a long time, with lots of airtime and a music video with monkeys. …I’m not sure how the monkeys fit in, really.
This sheet is a bit of a “clean,” abbreviated ‘ukulele version – one that I felt comfortable teaching my 7 year-old student. If you want the full, unedited lyrics in all their edgy glory, Google them.
The original recording is in the key of B. If you want to play along, tune your ‘ukulele down a half-step to F# B D# G#.
