Well, 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?

I'm standing on the corner with a dollar in my hand
Looking for a woman who's looking for a man
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate?

The eagle on the dollar says "In God we trust"
You say you want a man
You wanna see that dollar first
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate?

Well, If the river was whiskey
And if I was a duck
You know I'd swim to the bottom
Lord, and never come up
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate?

Well, rocks in the ocean
Said, fish in the sea
I know you mean the whole world to me.
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate?

Got my hesitation stockings, hesitation shoes
You know, Lord, I got them hesitation blues
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate?
