Your Mind Is on Vacation - Mose Allison

作词：Mose Allison/Mose Allison

作曲：Mose Allison

You sittin here and yakkin right in my face

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

You know if silence was golden

You couldn't raise a dime

Because your mind is on vacation

and your mouth is workin' overtime

You quotin' figures and droppin' names

You tellin' stories about the dames

You're overlaughin' when things ain't funny

You tryin' to sound like big money

You know if talk was criminal

You'd lead a life of crime

Because your mind is on vacation

and your mouth is workin overtime

You know that life is short

Talk is cheap

Don't be makin' promises that you can't keep

You don't like this little song I'm singin'

Just grin and bear it

All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it

If you must keep talkin

Please try to make it rhyme

Because your mind is on vacation

and your mouth is workin' overtime
