(Shel Silverstein) Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show: DOCTOR HOOK First Verse
AThe waitress with the orange hair keeps motionin' me to hurry up and Dleave DSo I Egulp my coffee - burn my mouth - grab up my coat and slippin' out EI smear a streak of mustard down my Asleeve AAnd the guy behind the register takes my bread and shakes his head AAnd looks at me as though I've blown his Dmind DHey, I just Ecome here for some coffee...hope I'm not wastin' anybody's Atime
Chorus
AAnd DJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback to you AAnd I Ewish that I could say I'll treat you Abetter than I used to AIt's Djust I'm learnin' lots of things I Anever knew back then EJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback again EJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback again
Second Verse
AThat blue eyed barracuda smiles and tells me she could use some brand new Dclothes DShe Egrabs my leg and with a wink, asks if I want another drink EShe's not the campfire girl you might supApose ABut she's so busy tellin' me her troubles I don't think she's got time AFor any kind of trouble small as Dmine DHey, I just Ecome in here for nothin'... hope I'm not wastin' anybody's Atime
Chorus
AAnd DJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback to you AAnd I Ewish that I could say I'll treat you Abetter than I used to AIt's Djust I'm learnin' lots of things I Anever knew back then EJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback again EJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback again
Third Verse
BWell I'm stopped here on the corner, when the red faced cop says move along Byour Eway EBut my F#nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb F#I think I just might stop inside that Bchurch and maybe pray BBut they pass the plate and they look at me when it turns out that I ain't Bgot a Edime EHey, I just F#come in here to talk to GOD... hope I'm not wastin' anybody's Btime
Chorus
EAnd Judy I'm slowly movin' Bback to you BAnd I F#wish that I could say I'll treat you Bbetter than I used to BIt's Ejust I'm learnin' lots of things I Bnever knew back then F#Judy I'm slowly movin' Bback again F#Judy I'm slowly movin' Bback again...
