The old maid's waiting for a leaf year to come.
[C] The crinners just waiting to sing.

[Gm] just waiting for the [G] grass to turn green.
The barfly's waiting for an easy mark.
[C] And the hitchhiker's waiting for a ride.
[D] The life-timer's waiting for a prison break.
Beachcomber's waiting [G] for a tie.
Farmer's daughter's waiting for the salesman
[C] to take her into town.

I guess the early bird's waiting [G] on the worm.
Nobody wants to do nothing.

And [G] Jack's still waiting on Jill.
Everybody's waiting for something.

And the burglar's just waiting on [G] the night.
The congregation is waiting for the preacher.

[D] And the groom's just waiting for the June bride.
And the bride's just [G] waiting for June.

[G] [C] Violet's just waiting for the dew.
[D]
Bee's just waiting for honey.
And honey, I'm just waiting [G] for you.
