Through
your breakfast do you rush?
Take your time;
Wash
it down like so much mush?
Take your time.
Do
you spring to get the car,
Shooting
by you like a star?
What
a chump you really are –
Take your time.
Do
you stand on people’s toes?
Take your time;
Do
you share their trolley woes?
Take your time.
Do
you sit in people’s laps
When
you miss the hanging straps
Someone
young and fair, perhaps?
Take your time.
Do
you call upon a maid?
Take your time;
After
ten are you afraid?
Take your time.
Is
her pater indiscreet,
Telling
you the trail to beat,
Do
you bump into the street?
Take your time.
Do
you owe a little bill?
Take your time;
If
you let them, tailors will
Take your time.
Don’t
be wild to spend your cash
Don’t
dip blindly into hash
Don’t
do anything that’s rash –
Take your time.
