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
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 too

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
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 too
