Sam Smith - Going through my song book I came across on of my old favorites which would be a great tune for Joe Biden to sing tonight during the debate. It was made popular by the late Mose Allison:
You’re
sitting here yakking in my face
I
guess I have to put you in your place
You
know if silence was golden
You
wouldn’t be worth a dime
Because
your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
You’re
quoting figures and dropping names
Telling
stories about all those dames
Overlaughing
when things aren’t funny
Trying
to sound like you have big money
You
know if talk was criminal You’d live a live of crime
Because
your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
You
know that life is short and talk is cheap
Don’t
make promises that you can’t keep
If
you don’t like this song just grin and bear it
All
I can say if the shoe fits, wear it
And
if you must keep talking please make it rhyme
Because
your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working over time
