He said you're Slow movin Sam Slow movin Sam Well you just have to be sure That the lady ain't pure And he always calls a woman ma'm So he tried once again at the fancy motel And remembered all of Jerry's advice He found a girl to disrobe with the patience of job Now they're at the church with plenty of rice She calls him Slow movin Sam Slow movin Sam So she's pleased to announce That's he's slow where it counts And he always calls a woman ma'm
