The old maids are waiting for leap year to come,
and the crooners just waiting to sing.
just a -waiting for the grass to turn green.
The bar fly's waitin' for an easy mark,
The hitchhiker's waitin' for a ride,
The life -termer's waitin'
The beachcomber's waitin' for the tide,
Farmer's daughter waitin'
The city slicker's waitin'
To lay all his money down,
You know, everything comes
nothing seems to make a turn,
worm must be waiting for the early bird,
nobody wants to do nothing,
just waiting to get a finger in the pie,
waiting for a call from a big quiz show
or hoping and waiting for some
Katie, she's waiting at the garden gate.
The moonshiner's waiting at the still.
And the gambler's still waiting
for that ace in the hole.
I guess Jack's still waiting for Jill.
Nothin' seems to turn out right
And the burglar's just waitin' for night
The congregation's waitin'
Preacher just waitin' for the groom
And the groom's just waitin'
And the bride's just waitin'
Violin's just waitin' for you
Bee's just waitin' for honey
And honey, I'm just waitin' for you
