Everything's Movin' Too Fast

(David Barbour, Peggy Lee)



It used to take a farmer a day to get town

Now it takes a minute 'til his plane comes down

Because everything's movin' too fast

Everything's movin' too fast

You better save your money

Because everything's movin' too fast



You used to eat your spinach, now you never will

Because you think it's modern to take it in a pill

Because everything's movin' too fast

Everything's movin' too fast

You better save your money

Because everything's movin' too fast



You used to talk of rockets shooting to the moon

I used to think you were crazy but I'm taking one at noon

Because everything's movin' too fast

Everything's movin' too fast

You better save your money

Because everything's movin' too fast



I had a covered wagon, then a model t

I put them in the junkyard, they don't jump enough for me

Because everything's movin' too fast

Everything's movin' too fast

You better save your money

Because everything's movin' too fast



Now papa used to get his kicks from music that was sweet

Now he gets his kicks from a boogie woogie beat

Because everything's movin' too fast

Everything's movin' too fast

You better save your money

Because everything's movin' too fast



Slow down

Slow down

Slow down

Everything's movin' too fast
