Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - Judy lyrics

(Shel Silverstein)

The waitress with the orange hair keeps motionin' me to hurry up and leave

So I gulp my coffee - burn my mouth - grab up my coat and slippin' out

I smear a streak of mustard down my sleeve

And the guy behind the register takes my bread and shakes his head

And looks at me as though I've blown his mind

Hey, I just come here for some coffeehope I'm not wastin' anybody's time

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you

And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to

It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then

Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

That blue eyed barracuda smiles and tells me she could use some brand new clothes

She grabs my leg and with a wink, asks if I want another drink

She's not the campfire girl you might suppose

But she's so busy tellin' me her troubles I don't think she's got time

For any kind of trouble small as mine

Hey, I just come in here for nothin' hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you

And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to

It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then

Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

Well I'm stopped here on the corner, when the red faced cop says move along your way

But my nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb

I think I just might stop inside that church and maybe pray

But they pass the plate and they look at me when it turns out that I ain't got a dime

Hey, I just come in here to talk to GOD hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you

And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to

It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then

Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

Judy I'm slowly movin' back again......
