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
