You keep me waitin
Till its gettin aggravatin
Youre a slowpoke
I wait and worry
But you never seem to hurry
Youre a slowpoke.
Time means nothing to you
I wait and then late again
Eight oclock, nine oclock
Quarter to ten.
Why should I linger
Everytime you snap your finger
Little slowpoke
Why cant you hasten
When you see the times a wastin
Youre a slowpoke, dear.
Why should I keep trying to change you
Its not the thing to do
I guess Ill have to learn to be
A slowpoke too.
