In A Minute (click to download mp3)

“In a minute,” he says, “Not now I am tired”
He’s got cookie crumbs all scattered in his lap
He stretches and groans
He grumbles and he moans
Then he reclines for a 5-hour nap

Chorus:
In a minute, pretty soon
In a moment he’ll be through
He’s always got something to do he needs to finish
It’s getting’ on her nerves
She’s used up her reserves
He’ll get what he deserves in a minute

“In a minute,” he says, “Not now I am busy”
The big wrestling match is comin’ on TV
He’s glued to the tube
Like Picasso to a nude
He’ll be right there as soon as he is free

Repeat chorus:

Bridge:
He doesn’t know she’s packin’ up her suitcase
She smashed his photograph on the floor
He calls to her from somewhere down the hallway
She yells out, “Just a minute,” as she’s walkin’ out the door

Chorus:
In a minute she’ll be free
To be her own priority
And he just doesn’t see she’s reached her limit
He’s sprawled out in the den
He won’t see her again
Cause she’ll be round the bend in a minute
She’ll be round the bend in a minute
She’ll be round the bend in a minute
