[Verse 1]
You keep me waitin' 'til it's gettin' aggravatin'
You're a slow poke
I wait and worry but you never seem to hurry
You're a slow poke

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
