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 coffee??¦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

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......
