The English playwright, actor, singer and songwriter Noël Coward - Wait a Bit, Joe Lyrics
When I was quite a tiny lad My nurse rehearsed me in a set routine Of good and bad When I grew up my parents would Unduly emphasize the gulf between The bad and good Aware that love can be a most destructive force I try to steer a middle course
There's a right way and a wrong way There's a weak way and a strong way Take it easy Drive with caution when the road is greasy Wait a bit, wait a bit, Joe There's an old way, and a new way There's a false way, and a true way Keep your ears back And you'll never have to fight the tears back Wait a bit, wait a bit, Joe Never trust your conscience as a method of defense When old Adam bubbles up inside On mature reflection you will find that common sense Is a far more servicible guide There's the wrong life, and he right life There's the home life, and the night life But which ever direction you go Wait a bit, wait a bit, Joe
There's a right way, and a wrong way There's a short way, and a long way Let your hair down But before the thrill begins to wear down Wait a bit, wait a bit, Joe There's a dull way, and a smart way There's a head way, and a heart way Love may fret you But before you let the goblins get you Wait a bit, wait a bit, Joe Try to keep your balance and endeavour to create A design for living at your ease If you're over-eager and go snapping at the bait You will end by giving at the knees There's a last love, and a first love There's a best love, and a worst love But if you don't want to lose on the throw Wait a bit, wait a bit Wait a bit, wait a bit—Joe
