Funny How Time Slips Away Lyrics by Junior Parker

Funny How Time Slips Away

1972

Boy it sure is a beautiful day outside
Sun shining
I don't think its gonna rain
Think I'll take my dog Sam for a walk
C'mon Sam let's walk down to the corner
Yeah
Never can tell who we might see
You may run up on something yourself
And I may run up on something too, you know
Birds singing, beautiful day
Birds doing their thing, I guess everybody do their thing
I had a thing but I blew it
Course that happens to everybody once in life
Sometimes two or three times haha
See a young lady coming down the street too
Sure looking good
Got hot pants and everything
Know what Sam, she's a bad mother
Well I can say it cause you don't know what I'm saying anyway
Cause if a girl dog comes down the street you'd say the same thing
Too bad we don't speak the same language
Sure enough looking good
Man looks familiar too Sam, you know
Yeah I think I know this young lady
Well I better not rush into it too fast
You know I don't
Don't wanna get slapped upside the head or something like that
You know how these ladies we somedays you know
Coming like don't I know you
You know that kind of stuff
Sure I know her
Yeah
Mmm mm
Sure enough looking good
Man looks familiar too Sam, you know
Yeah I think I know this young lady
Well I better not rush into it too fast
You know I don't
Don't wanna get slapped upside the head or something like that
You know how these ladies are somedays you know
Coming like don't I know you
You know that kind of stuff
Sure I know her
Yeah
Mmm mm
Sure looking good
Well hello there
My its been a long, long time
Hahahaha
How am I doing?
That's what you wanna know
Oh I guess I'm doing fine
Know what baby
Its been so long now
But it seems like
It was just the other day
Ain't it funny
How time slips right on away
You know what baby
The other day I was down at the pool hall
I went down there rapping with the fellas
You know how you go down there an shoot the breeze
Nothing else to do you know
Played a couple of games of ball
Played 8 Ball and stuff like that
Little one pocket, little bank
(?) at pool you know
People are talking to one another
You can get all the gossip you want at a pool hall
Beauty shop, barber shop
Grapevine is something else
You know everything that goes on someone knows
I don't care how large your city is
I don't care how you try to hide
Somebody will find it out
And what they say
What goes on in the dark soon will come to the light
You know what it means
But uh, I'd like to ask you one thing
Yeah
You looking so good
I got to ask you this one time baby
How's your new love
Oh I hope he's doing fine
Its a funny thing baby
You know what them cats told me
I heard you told him
That you will love him 'til the end of time
Something kind of peculiar about that
You know what baby
Oh that's the same thing
That you told me
It was just the other day
Ain't it funny baby yeah
How time slips right on away
You know what baby
I don't meant to call you baby
I used to call you that you know
Used to call you mamma, you used to call me daddy
You know how it go
But nice seeing you again
I don't wanna stay and rapture you too doggone long
Cause I don't want your man to come back
And think I'm trying to cop his thing
Cat must be doing all right you know
Like the way you dressed and everything
Good gracious you like
You a bad (?) baby (?)
No BS about that at all
But I won't talk to you too doggone long you know
(?) cat may be driving an El Dorado (?) or something
I don't want him to pass by and think I'm trying to cop his thing
Let me have it
She ain't doing anything
May have a dog that's bigger than my dog Sam
Beat both of us up
So baby I just tell you what I got to do
You remember this though you know
Yeah
Still look good baby
Sure enough looking good
Mmm mm
I got to go konw
You know what
But I'll see you somewhere around
Don't forget this baby
You never can tell now
When JP will be back in town
Already remember this baby
Just remember
What I told you
That in time
You gonna pay
Ain't it funny now mommy
How time it slips right on away
Well Sam I guess we'll walk on back to the house
I thought we'd have something going
But you didn't see anything
I saw something but uh you know
She's already taken
I'm sure you remember her
She's come by the pad
She took you on walks sometimes too
I see you wagging your tail
You must remember her too you know
So we'll go on back to the house
And find something to do
Yeah
Guess I'll get my harmonica out now
Play a little bit
Because nobody knows the trouble I've seen
But me
Sam you understand, you know
Hm
Start going back to the house
