What are you waiting for,
what are you waiting for Mary?

What are you thinking about?
Who are you thinking about, Mary?

The bees are buzzin.
They're buzzing right in my ear.
And they keep on asking:
"Hey, whats the big idea?"

Think of the moon above,
doesn't it speak of love, Mary?

Why do you lead me on?
Why do you be so contrary?

You wouldn't let my [bad word] tum-tum-tumbling down,
Think of the things in store,
what are you waiting for, Mary?
