Mose Allison — Your Mind Is On Vacation lyrics

Lyrics

You sittin' there yakkin' right in my face
I guess I’m gonna have to put you in your 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’re quotin' figures and droppin' names
You’re tellin' stories about the days
You’re over laughin' when things ain’t funny
You’re tryin' to sound like you’ve 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 and 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 And you must keep talkin', please try to make it rhyme
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
