SLOW AND EASY
(Words by Harry Williams / Music by Norman Spencer, 1919)


Oh! honey dear my honey dear, I hear those doggone "blues;" 
and honey dear, Oh! listen here, I feel those doggone shoes. 
Though they're new and killing me too, hear that "blue" and what can you do? 
Oh! boy, Oh! joy; let's toddle it through: but take it

Oh! honey dear, my honey dear, I fear I'll have to stop; 
and honey dear, Oh! listen here, I feel my feet will "pop." 
When they choose to put on the blues, two new shoes mean terrible news. 
Oh! boy, no joy; I've got to refuse: so walk it

Chorus
slow and easy, if you want to get along with me, 
I said slow and easy, be easy as a man can be. 
I'm a lady, pure and sweet, but "shimmee" up a little while I rest my feet. 
Go slow and easy, if you want to get along with me. 
Just take it

Chorus 2
slow and easy, if you want to get along with me, 
I said slow and easy, be easy as a man can be. 
Sit me down here in the shade, I'd like a little beer (I mean a lemonade.) 
Go slow and easy, if you want to get along with me. 
So walk it
