Sweet and slow Rock-a-by me to and fro While the band is moaning low Honey take your time Sweet and slow We ain't got no place to go We ain't going to buffalo Honey take your time You heard of how the turtle And the rabbit ran a race You heard of how the rabbit Ended up in second place Sweet and slow While the lights are burning low Oh honey I know we can make it if we take it Sweet and slow You heard of how the turtle And the rabbit ran a race You heard of how the rabbit Ended up in second place Oh, sweet and slow While these lights are burning low Oh honey I know we can make it if we take it Sweet and slow
