Vaya Con Dios - Mind On Vacation lyrics

rate me

(Music & lyrics Mose Allison)

You're sitting here yakkin'

Right in my face

Guess I'm gonna have to

Put you back in your place

If silence was golden

Boy, 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

All about the dames

You're overlaughing

When things ain't funny

You're trying to sound

Like a whole lot of money

If talk was criminal

You'd be leading a life of crime

'Cause your mind is on vacation

And your mouth is working - overtime

Now life is short

And talk is cheap

Don't go round making promises

You'll never keep

If you don't like the song I'm singing

You gotta grin and bear it

All I can say is

If the shoe fits, honey

You wear it

If you gotta keep on talkin'

Honey please, make it rhyme

'Cause your mind is on vacation

And your mouth is working way overtime

You're sitting here yakkin'

Right in my face

Guess I'm gonna have to

Put you back in your place

If silence was golden

Boy, you couldn't raise a dime

'Cause your mind is on vacation

And your mouth is working way overtime

'Hey, your mind is on vacation

And your mouth is working way overtime

<br />
