Jamaica - Take It Slow, Joe Lyrics

1957 Broadway
Jamaica the Musical - Take It Slow, Joe Lyrics

The song was written by Harold Arlen and Edgar Yipsel Harburg.

Take it slow, oh, Joe
Take it slow
Don't brush it in high
Let's start it in low

This whimsical game
Thrives on an easy flame, easy flame
Go smart, go slow
Don't burn it up, Joe

Make it last, play it cool
Make it last
If it's only a dream
Don't dream it up too fast

If it's love, don't let us blunder
Just let this wonder
Grow, let it grow
Sweet man, don't you know
That love's a long goodbye?
So go slow, Joe

If it's love, don't let us blunder
Just let this wonder
Grow, let it grow
Sweet man, don't you know?
That love's a long goodbye?
So go slow, Joe

Jamaica the Musical Lyrics

Push the Button
Cocoanut Sweet
What Good Does It Do
Monkey in the Mango Tree
Take It Slow, Joe
Ain't It the Truth
Leave the Atom Alone
I Don't Think I'll End It All Today
