(pee wee king, redd stewart and chilton pric)
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
