about

This little ditty is all about the world moving a little too fast sometimes. Slow down and have a listen. Learn to jive. Eat your vegetables. Be kind.

- Clark

lyrics

I might be walking, while I'm talking
And looking, while I book it
Don't really care, what you say
Got things to do, and bills to pay
I’m walking while I’m talking

People come, people go
Moving fast, or moving slow
Got my phone, it’s so smart
Got my girl, and she's a tart
People come and people go

Chorus:
I'm doing City Slicker Double Time
Out of rhythm, out of rhyme
No time to stop, can't spare a dime
Doing city slicker double time

Start the car, off I go
Grab a smoke, grab some Jo'
Pouring rain, hardly see
Who know the left lane's the place for me
Start the car and off I go

Chorus

SOLO

Poster signs, flying by
Selling something, fills the sky
Trying to find a clever line
Writing songs, to fill my time
Poster signs are flying by

CHORUS
