Slow Poke
5 6 6 -6 -6
You keep me waiting
7 7 8 8 -7-7-6-6
til it's getting aggravating,
5 5 -5 6
you're a slow poke.
-5 6 6 -6 -6
I wait and worry
-7 -7 -9-9 -7 -7 -6-6
but you never seem to hurry,
-5 -5 5 6
you're a slow poke.
7 -8 8 -8 8 -8
Time means nothing to you,
7 8 -6 7 8 -6 7
I wait and then--late again,
-7 -7 -8 -6 -6 7 6 6 -7 -5
Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quater to ten.
verse 2
Why should I linger ev'ry time you
snap your finger, little slow poke?
Why can you see the time's a wasting,
you're a slow poke, dear.
8 -8 -8 -8 9 9 -9 8 -8
Why should I keep trying to change you,
-8 -8 -8 -8 7 -7
it's not the thing to do.
-6 -5 -5 -6 -6 -8
I guess I'll have to learn
-8 8 8 -9 -7 7
to be a slow poke, too.
