You keep me wait-in' 
 7     7  -8  -8  -6* -6*  6  6
till it's get-tin' ag-gra-vat-in', 
  -4  -4   5   -5
you're a slow poke
5  -5  -5  6  6  -6* -6*  8  8
I wait n’ wor-ry but you nev-er 
 -6* -6* 6  6     5    5  -4   -5 
seem to hur-ry, you’re a slow poke
  7    -7   -8  -7  -8 -7
Time means noth-in' to you, 
7  -8   6   7    -8  6   7    -6* -6*   -7
I wait and then late a-gain, eight o'-clock, 
  6  6    7     -5  -5  -6* 5
nine o'-clock, quar-ter to ten

-4    -5  -5  6   6   7  7   -8
Why should I lin-ger ev-‘ry time 
-8   -6*  -6*  6   6   -4  -4   5    -5
you snap your fin-ger, lit-tle slow poke?
 5   -5   -5   6   6   -6* -6*  8
Why can't you has-ten when you see 
 8   -6*  -6* 6   6 
the time's a-was-tin'? 
  5    5  -4   -5    -7
You’re a slow poke, dear
-8    -7  -8  -7  -9  -9  8    -8   -7*
Why should I keep try-in' to change you? 
 -7  -7   7    -7  7 -6*
It's not the thing to do
6   5     5    6  6   -7   -7 -8
I guess I'll have to learn to be 
-8  8   -6*   7
a slow poke, too
