Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show: DOCTOR HOOK
First Verse
AThe waitress with the orange hair keeps motionin' me to hurry up and Dleave
DSo I Egulp my coffee - burn my mouth - grab up my coat and slippin' out
EI smear a streak of mustard down my Asleeve
AAnd the guy behind the register takes my bread and shakes his head
AAnd looks at me as though I've blown his Dmind
DHey, I just Ecome here for some coffee...hope I'm not wastin' anybody's Atime
Chorus
AAnd DJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback to you
AAnd I Ewish that I could say I'll treat you Abetter than I used to
AIt's Djust I'm learnin' lots of things I Anever knew back then
EJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback again
EJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback again
Second Verse
AThat blue eyed barracuda smiles and tells me she could use some brand new 
Dclothes
DShe Egrabs my leg and with a wink, asks if I want another drink
EShe's not the campfire girl you might supApose
ABut she's so busy tellin' me her troubles I don't think she's got time
AFor any kind of trouble small as Dmine
DHey, I just Ecome in here for nothin'... hope I'm not wastin' anybody's Atime
Chorus
AAnd DJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback to you
AAnd I Ewish that I could say I'll treat you Abetter than I used to
AIt's Djust I'm learnin' lots of things I Anever knew back then
EJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback again
EJudy I'm slowly movin' Aback again
Third Verse
BWell I'm stopped here on the corner, when the red faced cop says move along 
Byour Eway
EBut my F#nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb
F#I think I just might stop inside that Bchurch and maybe pray
BBut they pass the plate and they look at me when it turns out that I ain't 
Bgot a Edime
EHey, I just F#come in here to talk to GOD... hope I'm not wastin' anybody's
