Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth workin' over time.
...
If you must keep talkin', please try to make it rhyme.

= Your mind is on vacation =
(Mose Allison)

(1.) You're sittin' there yackin' right in my face,
Comin' on exactly like you own the place.
You know, if silence was golden
you couldn't raise a dime.

Because your mind is on vacation
and your mouth workin' over time.

(2.) You're quotin' figures and droppin' names,
You're tellin' stories and playin' games.
You're over laughin' when things ain't funny,
You're tryin' to sound like you don't need money,
You know if talk was criminal
You'd lead a life of crime.

Because your mind is on vacation
and your mouth workin' over time.

(3.) You know that life is short, talk is cheap,
Don't be makin' promises that you can't keep.
If you don't like this little song I'm singin'
Just grin and bear it; all I can say is if the shoe fits, wear it.
If you must keep talkin', please try to make it rhyme.

Because your mind is on vacation
and your mouth workin' over time.
