Mose Allison - Your Mind Is On Vacation lyrics

rate me

You're sitting there yakkin' right in my face

I guess I'm gonna have to put you in your place

Y'know if silence was golden

You couldn't raise a dime

Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is

working overtime

You're quoting figures, you're dropping names

You're telling stories about the dames

You're always laughin' when things ain't funny

You try to sound like you're big money

If talk was criminal, you'd lead a life of crime

Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is

working overtime

You know that life is short and talk is cheap

Don't be making 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 try to make it rhyme

Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working

overtime
