You sittin here and yakkin right in my face You comin' on exactly like you own the place You know if silence was golden You couldn't raise a dime Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
You quotin' figures and droppin' names You tellin' stories and playing games You're overlaughin' when things ain't funny You tryin' to sound like the big money You know if talk was criminal You'd lead a life of crime Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
You know that life is short Talk is cheap Don't be makin' promises that you can't keep You don't like this little song I'm singin' Just grin and bear it All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it If you must keep talkin Please try to make it rhyme Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
