SLOW POKE

Slow poke! Slow poke! I´m a silly on a slow poke!

You keep me waiting till it's getting aggravating, you're a slow poke

You wait and worry but I never seem to hurry on a slow poke.

Time means nothing to you, I´ll wait – you´ll wait. 

And then - late again - eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten.

Why should I linger ev'ry time you snap your finger, little slow poke?

Why can I hence when I see the time's a wasting on a slow poke, dear.

Why should I keep trying to change you, it's not the thing to do.

It´s the thing to do.

I guess you´re happy to learn to be a slow poke, too.

Slow poke, slow poke, I´m a silly on a slow poke

We keep awaiting till it's getting aggravating, what a slow poke.

We wait and worry but he does never any hurry on a slow poke.

Time means nothing to see, we´ll wait  

And then - late again - eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten.

Why should I linger ev'ry time you snap your finger, little slow poke? Slow poke!

Why can´t you hence when you see the time's a wasting on a slow poke, dear.

Why do you keep trying to change me, it's not the thing to do.

Then I guess you´re happy to learn to be a silly on a slow poke, too.

Slow poke, slow poke you´re a silly on a slow poke.

Slow poke, slow poke I´m a silly on a slow poke.

Slow poke!
