NOWHERE IN A HURRY BLUES



Miss Beverly Jones had a Ph. D. in Physics

And she went to town to look for some work

Everyplace she applied said she was qualified

To be a secretary or a clerk

The word got out on the day she was born

But she was twenty years getting the news

And a taste of that, "I don't know where I'm going

But I'm going nowhere in a hurry," blues



My friend Fred felt lucky last Tuesday

So he took himself out to the track

He was armed with a hot tip and a hundred dollar bill

But that boy had to hitchhike back

The horse that he bet on was leading all the way

When it threw off on of its shoes

That horse had the, "I don't know where I'm going

But I'm going no where in a hurry," blues

And I don't know where I'm going

I don't know how long the journey will last

I don't know where I'm going

The future's one big mirror of the past

And I've been losing so long, it looks like winning

Kick me again and I'll come up grinning

All my time is spent standing still

Its the world that's going round so fast



And it was on a Sunday morning

About a hundred years ago

The message came without warning

Though everybody'd told him so

The last thing General Custer said

When he looked up and saw the Sioux

Was, "I don't know where I'm going

But I'm going no where in a hurry," blues



The last thing Cleopatra said

As that asp crawled up her boobs

The last thing Adolph Eichmann said

In that courtroom filled with Jews

The last thing Marie Antoinette said

As her head rolled toward her shoes

Was you can eat the, "I don't know where I'm going

But I'm going no where in a hurry," blues
