Wait

It's not much of a chair but it'll do
Was me poor Albert's chair
Sit in it all day long, he did
Half his leg give out with the gout
Why doesn't the beadle come?
"Before the week is out!", that's what he said
Oh, he says "the week's out", it's only Tuesday

Easy now
Hush, love, hush
Don't distress yourself
What's your rush?
Keep your thoughts
Nice and lush
Wait

Hush, love, hush
Think it through
Once it bubbles, then
What's to do?
Watch it close
Let it brew
Wait

I've been thinkin' flowers
Maybe daisies
To brighten up the room
Don't you think some flowers
Pretty daisies
Might relieve the gloom?
Ah, wait
Love, wait

And the judge?
When will I get to him?
Can't you think of nothin' else?
Always broodin' away on your wrongs
What happened heaven knows how many years ago

Slow, love, slow
Time so fast
Now goes quickly, see
Now it's passed
Soon will come
Soon will last
Wait

Don't you know
Silly man?
Half the fun is to
Plan the plan
All good things
Come to those who can
Wait

Gillyflowers, maybe
'Stead of daisies
I dunno though
What do you think?
