You keep me waitin'
till it's gettin' aggravatin'
You're a slow poke
I wait and worry
but you never seem to hurry
You're a slow poke
Time means nothin' to you
I wait and then
You're late again eight o'clock
Nine o'clock quarter to ten
Why should I linger every time
you snap your finger
Little slow poke
Why can't you hasten
when you see the time's a 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 to
You keep me waitin'
till it's gettin' aggravatin'
You're a slow poke
I wait and worry
but you never seem to hurry
You're a slow poke
Time means nothin' to you
I wait and then
You're late again eight o'clock
Nine o'clock quarter to ten
Why should I linger every time
you snap your finger
Little slow poke
Why can't you hasten
when you see the time's a 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 to
