Slow Poke

(album: Doris Day With Love - 2019)

You keep me waiting till it's getting aggravating
You're a slow poke
I wait n' worry but you never seem to hurry
You're a slow poke

Time means nothing 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
You're a slow poke
Why can't you hasten when you see the time's a-wasting
You're a slow poke, dear

Why should I keep trying to change you
It's not the thing to do
I guess I'll have to learn
To be a slow poke too

Slow poke
Slow poke
Time means nothing to you, I wait and then
You late again
Eight o'clock, nine o'clock
Quarter to ten

Why should I linger ev'ry time you snap your finger
You're a slow poke
Why can't you hasten when you see the time's a-wasting
You're a slow poke, dear

Why should I keep trying to change you
It's not the thing to do
I guess I'll have to learn
To be a slow poke too
