Wait

Wait Lyrics

Why doesn't the Beadle come? "Before the week is out," that's what he said

And who says the week is out yet? It's only Friday

Easy now
Hush, love, hush
Don't distress yourself
What's your rush?
Keep your thoughts
Nice and lush
Wait

Hush, love, hush
Think it through
Once it bubbles
Then what's to do?
Watch it close
Let it brew
Wait

I've been thinking flowers
Maybe daisies
To brighten up the room
Don't you think some flowers
Pretty daisies
Might relieve the gloom?
Ah, wait, love, wait

And the Judge? When will I get him?

Can't you think of nothing else?
Always brooding away on your wrongs, what happened heaven knows how many years ago

Slow, love, slow
Time's so fast
Now goes quickly
See, now it's past!
Soon will come
Soon will last
Wait

Don't you know
Silly man
Half the fun is to
Plan the plan?
All good things come to
Those who can
Wait
Gillyflowers, maybe
'Stead of daisies?
I don't know, though
What do you think?

Yes

Gillyflowers, I'd say
Nothing like a nice bowl of gillies
