Judy
Dr Hook & The Medicine Show Lyrics

The waitress with the orange hair keeps motionin' me to hurry up and leave
The impatient waitress is reminding me to finish my coffee and quickly leave the diner.

So I gulp my coffee - burn my mouth - grab up my coat and slippin' out
In a rush, I chug my coffee, scalding my mouth, then grab my coat and quickly leave.

I smear a streak of mustard down my sleeve
I accidentally get some mustard on my sleeve as I'm furiously trying to leave the diner.

And the guy behind the register takes my bread and shakes his head
The cashier sadly shakes his head as he takes my payment, disappointed in my appearance or behavior.

And looks at me as though I've blown his mind
The cashier stares at me as if I've done something unexpected or unusual, leaving him confused or surprised.

Hey, I just come here for some coffeeâ?¦hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time
I entered the diner simply for coffee and feel guilty for inconveniencing anyone with my presence.

And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you
I am returning back to Judy, but at a slow and steady pace.

And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to
I regret mistreating Judy in the past, and hope to improve our relationship going forward.

It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then
I am gaining wisdom and knowledge that I did not have before, which will hopefully help me treat Judy better.

That blue eyed barracuda smiles and tells me she could use some brand new clothes
A flirty woman with blue eyes hints that she wants new clothes, but she's not the innocent girl she appears to be.

She grabs my leg and with a wink, asks if I want another drink
The woman flirts with me by grabbing my leg and asking if I want another drink.

She's not the campfire girl you might suppose
The woman is not the innocent, wholesome girl she may seem to be at first glance.

But she's so busy tellin' me her troubles I don't think she's got time
Despite her flirtatious behavior, the woman is too preoccupied with sharing her problems to pay much attention to me.

For any kind of trouble small as mine
The woman is too caught up in her own issues to care about the small problems I may have.

Hey, I just come in here for nothin'â?¦ hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time
I did not come to the bar for any specific reason and feel bad for potentially bothering anyone.

Well I'm stopped here on the corner, when the red faced cop says move along your way
I'm stopped at a street corner when an angry police officer tells me to keep moving.

But my nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb
It's cold outside and I am becoming numb, losing sensation in my fingers and toes.

I think I just might stop inside that church and maybe pray
Feeling lost, I consider stopping in a church so I can pray and seek guidance.

But they pass the plate and they look at me when it turns out that I ain't got a dime
As the collection plate is passed around the church, I realize that I have no money to contribute and feel embarrassed as people stare at me.

Hey, I just come in here to talk to GODâ?¦ hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time
I entered the church simply to talk to God and feel guilty for potentially burdening anyone with my problems.

Judy I'm slowly movin' back again
I am slowly but surely returning to Judy.
