Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime I need a new man, Lord I know I won't mind How long, dear do I have to wait? Can I get you now, dear must I hesitate? Well now, eagle on the dollar says "In God we trust" You say you won't obey me, you wanna see the dollar first How long dear, do I have to wait? Can I get you now dear, must I hesitate? Lord, if the river was made of whisky I was a duck I'd just swim to the bottom and I'd never come up How long dear do I have to wait? Why can't I get you now, dear must I hesitate? I know there's rocks down in the ocean and there's fish in the sea I know you mean the whole world to me How long dear must I have to wait? Can I get you now, dear must I hesitate? I got them hesitation stockings, I got them hesitation shoes Lord knows I got them hesitation blues Tell me, how long do I have to wait? Why can't I get you now, dear must I hesitate?
