Sweet and slow
Rock-a-by me to and fro
While the band is moaning low
Honey take your time
Sweet and slow
We ain't got no place to go
We ain't going to buffalo
Honey take your time
You heard of how the turtle
And the rabbit ran a race
You heard of how the rabbit
Ended up in second place
Sweet and slow
While the lights are burning low
Oh honey
I know we can make it if we take it
Sweet and slow
You heard of how the turtle
And the rabbit ran a race
You heard of how the rabbit
Ended up in second place
Oh, sweet and slow
While these lights are burning low
Oh honey
I know we can make it if we take it
Sweet and slow
