Lyrics Wasting Time - The Riverboat Gamblers

Wasting Time

No kidding?
Do the children really have no ears?
Leave the bassinet lying so the snakes on the ground
They can come and find them?
Is there really a mongoose around here?
Immune to venom vites and serpent strikes and such
Cause I don’t mind if you stay away from me
Being spurned is fine if it means that I can eat
Check this out: well I chew em' out and then spit em up again
Drown em in, cause I had enough of them
Well you’ve been force-fed and I know why
Gotta shed shed shed shed shed shed you skin, for street clothes
Gotta get real soft and smooth, till you skip the groove
And you get your milking.
Can we get Riki Tiki Tavi here?
Lemme see if I get it right, then we sleep tonight on beds
Cause I don’t mind if you stay away from me
Being spurned is fine if it means that I can eat
Check this out: well I chew em' out and then spit em up again
Drown em in, cause I had enough of them
Well you’ve been force-fed and I know why
You’re wasting your time
