That Slow Walkin' Talk.
Some say its laziness, that I'd better do some work
The cat, he sleeps the time around,
Black both night and day;
But when I try to do the same
They say: get walkin' on your way.
(get walkin' - slow talkin')
Me and my baby, we went out the other night.
Took my time so steadily - I thought that it was right.
I wondered why she looked around
At all the other guys;
But then she upped and left me
And I realised
It was my Slow Walkin' Talk.
(get walkin' - slow talkin')
I'm tired and I'm restless,
I never say a word.
People always stare at me,
I'm like a tortoise in their herd.
Had an education, learned to use a knife and fork,
But no government ever had
The economy of my Slow Walkin' Talk.
