Wait A Bit Joe |
| When I was quite a tiny lad |
| My nurse rehearsed me in a set routine |
| Of good and bad |
| When I grew up my parents would |
| Unduly emphasize the gulf between |
| The bad and good |
| Aware that love can be a most destructive force |
| I try to steer a middle course |
| There’s a right way and a wrong way |
| There’s a weak way and a strong way |
| Take it easy |
| Drive with caution when the road is greasy |
| Wait a bit, wait a bit, Joe |
| There’s an old way, and a new way |
| There’s a false way, and a true way |
| Keep your ears back |
| And you’ll never have to fight the tears back |
| Wait a bit, wait a bit, Joe |
| Never trust your conscience as a method of defense |
| When old Adam bubbles up inside |
| On mature reflection you will find that common sense |
| Is a far more servicible guide |
| There’s the wrong life, and he right life |
| There’s the home life, and the night life |
| But which ever direction you go |
| Wait a bit, wait a bit, Joe |
| There’s a right way, and a wrong way |
| There’s a short way, and a long way |
| Let your hair down |
| But before the thrill begins to wear down |
| Wait a bit, wait a bit, Joe |
| There’s a dull way, and a smart way |
| There’s a head way, and a heart way |
| Love may fret you |
| But before you let the goblins get you |
| Wait a bit, wait a bit, Joe |
| Try to keep your balance and endeavour to create |
| A design for living at your ease |
| If you’re over-eager and go snapping at the bait |
| You will end by giving at the knees |
| There’s a last love, and a first love |
| There’s a best love, and a worst love |
| But if you don’t want to lose on the throw |
| Wait a bit, wait a bit |
| Wait a bit, wait a bit—Joe |
