Judy Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(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......
