Funny How Time Slips Away - Junior Parker

Boy it sure is a beautiful day outside

Sun shining

I don’t think its gonna rain

Think I’ll take my dog Sam for a walk

C’mon Sam let’s walk down to the corner

Yeah

Never can tell who we might see

You may run up on something yourself

And I may run up on something too, you know

Birds singing, beautiful day

Birds doing their thing, I guess everybody do their thing

I had a thing but I blew it

Course that happens to everybody once in life

Sometimes two or three times haha

See a young lady coming down the street too

Sure looking good

Got hot pants and everything

Know what Sam, she’s a bad mother

Well I can say it cause you don’t know what I’m saying anyway

Cause if a girl dog comes down the street you’d say the same thing

Too bad we don’t speak the same language

Sure enough looking good

Man looks familiar too Sam, you know

Yeah I think I know this young lady

Well I better not rush into it too fast

You know I don’t

Don’t wanna get slapped upside the head or something like that

You know how these ladies we somedays you know

Coming like don’t I know you

You know that kind of stuff

Sure I know her

Yeah

Mmm mm

Sure enough looking good

Man looks familiar too Sam, you know

Yeah I think I know this young lady

Well I better not rush into it too fast

You know I don’t

Don’t wanna get slapped upside the head or something like that

You know how these ladies are somedays you know

Coming like don’t I know you

You know that kind of stuff

Sure I know her

Yeah

Mmm mm

Sure looking good

Well hello there

My its been a long, long time

Hahahaha

How am I doing?

That’s what you wanna know

Oh I guess I’m doing fine

Know what baby

Its been so long now

But it seems like

It was just the other day

Ain’t it funny

How time slips right on away

You know what baby

The other day I was down at the pool hall

I went down there rapping with the fellas

You know how you go down there an shoot the breeze

Nothing else to do you know

Played a couple of games of ball

Played 8 Ball and stuff like that

Little one pocket, little bank

(?) at pool you know

People are talking to one another

You can get all the gossip you want at a pool hall

Beauty shop, barber shop

Grapevine is something else

You know everything that goes on someone knows

I don’t care how large your city is

I don’t care how you try to hide

Somebody will find it out

And what they say

What goes on in the dark soon will come to the light

You know what it means

But uh, I’d like to ask you one thing

Yeah

You looking so good

I got to ask you this one time baby

How’s your new love

Oh I hope he’s doing fine

Its a funny thing baby

You know what them cats told me

I heard you told him

That you will love him 'til the end of time

Something kind of peculiar about that

You know what baby

Oh that’s the same thing

That you told me

It was just the other day

Ain’t it funny baby yeah

How time slips right on away

You know what baby

I don’t meant to call you baby

I used to call you that you know

Used to call you mamma, you used to call me daddy

You know how it go

But nice seeing you again

I don’t wanna stay and rapture you too doggone long

Cause I don’t want your man to come back

And think I’m trying to cop his thing

Cat must be doing all right you know

Like the way you dressed and everything

Good gracious you like

You a bad (?) baby (?)

No BS about that at all

But I won’t talk to you too doggone long you know

(?) cat may be driving an El Dorado (?) or something

I don’t want him to pass by and think I’m trying to cop his thing

Let me have it

She ain’t doing anything

May have a dog that’s bigger than my dog Sam

Beat both of us up

So baby I just tell you what I got to do

You remember this though you know

Yeah

Still look good baby

Sure enough looking good

Mmm mm

You know what

But I’ll see you somewhere around

Don’t forget this baby

You never can tell now

When JP will be back in town

Already remember this baby

Just remember

What I told you

That in time

You gonna pay

Ain’t it funny now mommy

How time it slips right on away

Well Sam I guess we’ll walk on back to the house

I thought we’d have something going

But you didn’t see anything

I saw something but uh you know

She’s already taken

I’m sure you remember her

She’s come by the pad

She took you on walks sometimes too

I see you wagging your tail

You must remember her too you know

So we’ll go on back to the house

And find something to do

Yeah

Guess I’ll get my harmonica out now

Play a little bit

Because nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen

But me

Sam you understand, you know

Start going back to the house
