Well a nickel is a nickel and a dime is a dime
I need a new gal she won't mind, tell me
How long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate
Well, the eagle on the dollar says "in God we trust"
You say you want a man, I wanna see that dollar first, tell me
How long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate
If the river was whiskey, and I was a duck
You know I'd swim to the bottom, Lord, an' never come up, tell me
How long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate
Rocks in the ocean, baby, fish in the sea
Knows you mean the world to me, tell me
How long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate
Well, got hesitation stockings got them hesitatin' shoes
Lord, I got them Hesitatin' Blues, tell me
How long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate
Said, can I get you now, how long must I hesitate?
