G 
You keep me waitin' till it's gettin' aggravatin',  
B?     Am7  D7 
you're a slow poke. 
D7         Am7   D7                    Am7 
I wait and worry but you never seem to hurry, 
D7       G 
you're a slow poke. 
G7   Dm7   G7         G     Cm7   C   C7 
Time means nothin' to you, I wait, and then, 
A9    Em7 A7 D7             Am7           G          Am7 D7  
Late again...eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten. 

#2. 
G                                
Why should I linger every time you snap your finger,  
B?   Am7  D7 
little slow poke? 
D7            Am7    D7                        Am7 
Why can't you hasten when you see the time's a-wastin'?  
D7       G          G9 
you're a slow poke, dear. 
C                 Cm               Cm7 
Why should I keep tryin' to change you?  
Bm7                   E9 
It's not the thing to do. 
E7 Am                          E7   Am   D7    G 
I  guess I'll have to learn to be a slow poke, too. 

#3. 
G 
I keep on waitin' till it's gettin' aggravatin', 
B?   Am7  D7 
what a slow poke. 
D7         Am7   D7                    Am7 
I wait and worry but there's never any hurry,  
D7     G 
what a slow poke. 
G7   Dm7   G7           G     Cm7   C   C7 
Time means nothin', you see, I wait, and then, 
A9   Em7  A7 D7             Am7           G          Am7 D7  
Late again...eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten.
