In Germany they say "mach schnell"
In France they say "vite vite"
And sometimes we say "on the double"
At others we say "on your feet"

Life at such a pace
Isn't worth the race
Slow down, folks
Slow down

Juliet said "Hie thee hence"
Nurse was in a hurry
T'was critical, in her defense
So, like a mouse, a-scurry

Life at such a pace
Isn't worth the race
Slow down, folks
Slow down

We bustle to the job
We hustle on the grocer line
We look at our watch fob
We have but 10 to dine

Life at such a pace
Isn't worth the race
Slow down, folks
Slow down
