Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You keep me waitin'
Till it's gettin' aggravatin'
You're a slowpoke
I wait and worry
But you never seem to hurry
You're a slowpoke
[Chorus]
Time means nothing to you
I wait and then, late again
Eight o'clock, nine o'clock
Quarter to ten
Why should I linger
Every time you snap your finger?
Little slowpoke
Why can't you hasten
When you see that time's a wastin'?
You're a slowpoke, dear
[Chorus]
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 slowpoke too
[Verse 2]
You keep me waitin'
Till it's gettin' aggravatin'
You're a slowpoke
I wait and worry
But you never seem to hurry
You're a slowpoke
[Chorus]
Time means nothing to you
I wait and then, late again
Eight o'clock, nine o'clock
Quarter to ten
[Verse 3]
Why should I linger
Every time you snap your finger?
Little slowpoke
Why can't you hasten
When you see that time's a wastin'?
You're a slowpoke, dear
[Chorus]
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 slowpoke too
