The old maid's waitin' for leap year to come   The crooner's just waitin' to sing   The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign   Just awaitin' for the grass to turn green      The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark   An' the hitch-hiker's waitin' for a ride   The life-termer's waitin' for a prison break   The beachcomber's waitin' for the tide      Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman   To take her into town   The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy   To lay all his money down      You know everything comes to a standstill   Nothin' seems to make a turn   Worm must be waitin' for the early bird   I guess the early bird's waitin' for the worm      Nobody wants to do nothin'   Just waitin' to get a finger in the pie   Waitin' for a call from a big quiz show   Or hopin' and awaitin' for some rich uncle to die      Katy, she's waitin' at the garden gate   The moonshiner's waitin' at the still   An' the gambler's still waitin' for that ace in the hole   I guess, Jack's still waitin' for Jill      Everybody's waitin' for somethin'   Nothin' seems to turn out right   'Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin'   And the burglar just waitin' for night      The congregation's waitin' for the preacher   Preacher just waitin' for the groom   The groom's just waitin' for the June bride   And the bride's just waitin' for June      Sunflowers waitin' for the sunshine   Violets just waitin' for dew   Bees just waitin' for honey   And, honey, I'm just waitin' for you
