Sweet and slow
Rock-a-bye me to and fro
While the men is moanin' low
Honey take your time
Yes

Sweet and slow
We ain't got no place to go
We ain't going to Buffalo
No, no
Honey take your time

Oh, slow down baby

You heard of how the turtle and the rabbit ran a race
You heard of how the rabbit ended up in second place

And look now, baby, don't let's be like the rabbit
Oh no

Sweet and slow
While these lights are burning low
Oh honey, I know we can make it if we take it
Sweet but slow, yes

Sweet and slow
While these lights are burning low
Oh honey, I know we can make it if we take it
Sweet and slow
Sweet and slow
My, my, my
