The old maid's a waitin' for leap year to come the crooner's just waitin' to sing
The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign
Just waitin' for the grass to turn green
The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark the hitchhiker's just waitin' for a ride
The lifetimer's waitin' for a prison break the beachcomber's waitin' for the tide
Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman to take her into rown
The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy to lay all his money down
You know everything comes to standstill nothing seems to make a turn
Worm must be waitin' for the early bird
Now I reckon the early bird's waitin' for the worm
Nobody wants to do nothin' just waitin' to get a finger in the pie
Waitin' for a call for a big quiz show or a waitin' for some rich uncle to die
Katy she's waitin' at the garden gate the moonshiner's waitin' at the still
The gambler's still waitin' for that Ace in the hole and I guess Jack's still waitin' for Jill
Everybody's waitin' for something but nothing seems to turn out right
Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin' and the burglar he's just waitin' for night
The congregation's waitin' for the preacher the preacher's just waitin' for the groom
The groom's just waitin' for the June bride and the bride's just waitin' for June
Sunflower's waitin' for the sunshine violet's just waitin' for dew
Bee's just waitin' for honey and honey I'm just waitin' for you
