Lyrics by Henry Karlin
Lyrics
She said hurry up and wait
She said but don't come but don't be late
She said open the door then close it
She said take out the gun and use it
I wanted to stay what she said
I said I'll stay and give you grief
[Chorus]
Hurry up and then you wait
Down and say goodbye
Hurry up and then you wait
Hurry and say goodbye, say goodbye
[Verse 2]
She said hurry up and wait
She said but don't come but don't be late
She said open the door then close it
She said take out the gun and use it
I wanted to stay what she said
I said I'll stay and give you grief
[Chorus]
Hurry up and then you wait
Down and say goodbye
Hurry up and then you wait
Hurry and say goodbye, say goodbye
