Slow Poke Songtext
von Ray Conniff

Slow poke, slow poke
I′m a silly old slow poke

You keep me waitin' ′til it's gettin' aggravatin′, you′re a slow poke
You wait and worry, but I never seem to hurry, I'm a slow poke
Time means nothin′ to you, I wait (you 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 slow poke?
Why can't I hasten when I see the time′s a-wastin'? I'm a slow poke, dear
Why should I keep tryin′ to change you? It′s not the thing to do
Here's the thing to do, l guess
You′ll have to learn to be a slow poke, too (slow poke, too)

Slow poke, slow poke
I'm a silly old slow poke


We keep on waitin′ 'til it′s gettin' aggravatin', what a slow poke
We wait and worry, but there′s never any hurry, what a slow poke
Time means nothin′, you see? We 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 slow poke? (Slow poke)
Why can't you hasten when you see the time′s a-wastin'?
You′re a slow poke, dear
Why do you keep tryin' to change me? It's not the thing to do
Then I guess I′ll have to learn to be a silly old slow poke, too

Slow poke, slow poke
You′re a silly old slow poke
Slow poke, slow poke
I'm a silly old slow poke

Slow poke
