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...
