Lyrics
You sittin' here and yakkin' right in my face
I guess I'm gonna have to put you in your place
If silence was golden, you couldn't raise a dime
'Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
You quotin' figures and droppin' names
You tellin' stores about all damn dames
You're overlaughin' when things ain't funny
You tryin' to sound like you big, big money
If talk was criminal, you'd lead a life of crime
'Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
You know that life is short and talk is cheap
Please, don't make no promises that you can't keep
You don't like this little song, just grin and bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
If you must keep talkin', please, please, make it rhyme
'Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
Writer(s): Mose Allison
