The old maid's waitin' for leap year to come

The crooner's just waitin' to sing

The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign

Just awaitin' for the grass to turn green The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark

An' the hitch-hiker's waitin' for a ride

The life-termer'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 town

The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy

To lay all his money down You know everything comes to a standstill

Nothin' seems to make a turn

Worm must be waitin' for the early bird

I guess 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 from a big quiz show

Or hopin' and awaitin' for some rich uncle to die Katy, she's waitin' at the garden gate

The moonshiner's waitin' at the still

An' the gambler's still waitin' for that ace in the hole

I guess, Jack's still waitin' for Jill Everybody's waitin' for somethin'

Nothin' seems to turn out right

'Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin'

And the burglar just waitin' for night The congregation's waitin' for the preacher

Preacher just waitin' for the groom

The groom's just waitin' for the June bride

And the bride's just waitin' for June Sunflowers waitin' for the sunshine

Violets just waitin' for dew

Bees just waitin' for honey

And, honey, I'm just waitin' for you
