you keep me waitin’ till it’s gettin’ aggravatin’, you’re a slow poke i wait n’ worry but you never seem to hurry, you’re a slow poke
time means nothin’ to you, i 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’t you hasten when you see the time’s are wastin’? you’re a slow poke, dear,
why should i keep tryin’ to change you, it’s not the thing to do, i guess i’ll have to learn to be a slow poke too!
