Lyrics
Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kickin’ down the cobble stones
Lookin’ for fun and feelin’ groovy
Hello lamp-post, whatcha knowin’?
I’ve come to watch your flowers growin’
Ain’t-cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in’ doo-doo, feelin’ groovy
Got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I’m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life, I love you, all is groovy
