One Hour Mama

I've always heard that haste makes waste

So I believe in taking my time

The highest mountain can't be raised

It's something you must slowly climb

I want a slow and easy man

He needn't ever take the lead

'Cause I've worked on that long-time plan

And I ain't a-lookin' for no speed

'Cause I'm a one-hour mama

So one-minute papa

Ain't the kind of man for me

Set your alarm clock, papa

One hour, that's proper

Then love me like I love to be

Why, I don't want no lame excuse

'Bout my lovin' being so good

That you couldn't wait no longer

Now I hope I'm understood

'Cause I'm a one-hour mama

So one-minute papa

Ain't the kind of man for me

Why, I don't want no greenhorn lover

Like a rookie goin' to war

With a load of big artillery

But don't know what it's for

He's got to bring me reference

With a great long pedigree

And must prove he's got endurance

Or he don't mean that to me

I can't stand no crowing rooster

What just hits a lick or two

Why, action is the only booster

Of what my man must do

And I don't want no imitation

'Cause my requirements ain't no joke

And I get full indignation

For a guy that's lost his stroke

'Cause I'm a one-hour mama

And a one-minute papa

Ain't the kind of man for me

Set your alarm clock, papa

One hour, that's proper

Then love me like I like to be

Why, I may want love for an hour

Then decide to make it two

Why, it takes a hour 'fore I get started

Maybe three hours 'fore I'm through

'Cause I'm a one-hour mama

So one-minute papa

Ain't the kind of man for me
