Slow Poke
Time's Dance: Embracing the Rhythm of Patience in 'Slow Poke'
Lyrics
You keep me waitin' till it's gettin' aggravatin'
You consistently make me wait, causing increasing frustration
You're a slow poke
Labeling you as a slowpoke due to your delay
I wait and worry but you never seem to hurry
I anxiously wait and worry, but you show no urgency
You're a slow poke
Reiterating that you are indeed a slowpoke
Time means nothin' to you
You disregard the importance of time
I wait and then
I wait, and then...
Late again,
You are consistently late
Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten
Listing specific times (eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten)
Why should I linger every time you snap your finger
Questioning why I linger every time you make a demand
Little slow poke?
Referring to you as a little slowpoke
Why can't you hasten when you see the time's a-wastin'?
Asking why you can't move faster when time is running out
You're a slow poke, dear
Reaffirming that you are indeed a slowpoke, expressing affection
Why should I keep tryin' to change you?
Questioning the effort to change you
It's not the thing to do
Recognizing that attempting to change you is not the right approach
I guess I'll have to learn to be a slow poke too
Acknowledging the need to learn to be patient like you
You keep me waitin' till it's gettin' aggravatin'
Reiterating the frustration of waiting for you
You're a slow poke
Confirming that you are, indeed, a slowpoke
I wait and worry but you never seem to hurry
Repeating the theme of waiting and worrying due to your slowness
You're a slow poke
Emphasizing once more that you are a slowpoke
Time means nothin' to you
Emphasizing your disregard for the value of time
I wait and then
Repeating the pattern of waiting
Late again
Highlighting your consistent tardiness
Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten
Listing specific times again (eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten)
Why should I linger every time you snap your finger
Questioning the reason for lingering every time you demand
Little slow poke?
Referring to you as a little slowpoke once more
Why can't you hasten when you see the time's a-wastin'?
Asking why you can't move faster when time is running out, repeated from earlier
You're a slow poke, dear
Reaffirming affectionately that you are a slowpoke
Why should I keep tryin' to change you?
Questioning the effort to change you, repeated from earlier
It's not the thing to do
Recognizing that attempting to change you is not the right approach, repeated from earlier
I guess I'll have to learn to be a slow poke too
Concluding that I may need to learn to be a slowpoke too
