Slow Poke
By Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart and Chilton Price (c)1951 Ridgeway Music Co., Inc.

(G)You keep me waitin: till it's gettin' aggravatin;
(Ddim)You're a (D7)Slow Poke
I wait n' worry but you never seem to hurry;
You're a (G)Slow Poke
(G7)Time means nothin' to you;
I (C)wait and then, (A7)late again.
(D7)Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten
(G)Why can't you hasten when you see the time's a'wastin';
You're a (G)Slow Poke, (G7)dear.
(C)Why should I keep (Cm)tryin' to change you,
(G)It's not the thing to do.(E7)
I (Am)guess I'll have to learn to be a Slow (D7)Poke, (G)too.
