(Mose Allison)
|
Sitting there yakkin' right in my face
|
Coming on like you own the place
|
If silence was golden
|
You couldn't raise a dime
|
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
|
|
You're quoting figures, you're dropping names
|
You're telling stories, you're playing games
|
You always laugh when things ain't funny
|
You try to sound like you don't need money
|
If talk was criminal, you'd lead a life of crime
|
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
|
|
You know that life is short and talk is cheap
|
Don't make promises that you can't keep
|
If you don't like the song I'm singing, just grin and bear it
|
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
|
If you must keep talking please can you make it rhyme
|
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
|
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
|
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
|

Your Mind Is On Vacation
