   I see you laughin'
  Right in my face
  I guess I'm gonna have to
  Put you in your place
  
  Because if silence was golden
  You couldn't raise a dime
  Because your mind is on vacation
  And your mouth is working overtime
  
  You're quoting figures
  And dropping names
  You're tellin' stories
  About the dames
  You're over-laughin'
  When things ain't funny
  You're tryin' to sound
  Like you're the big money, honey
  
  If talk was criminal
  You'd lead a life of crime
  Because your mind is on vacation
  And your mouth is working overtime
  
  Life is short, talk is cheap
  Don't go makin' promises that you can't keep
  If you don't like this little song I'm singin'
  Just grin and bear it
  All I can say is if the rich shoe fits, wear it
  
  If you must keep talkin', please try to make it rhyme
  Because your mind is on vacation
  And your mouth is working overtime
  
  Well, I recall when we first met
  It was on a Friday night
  We spent two lovely hours together
  And the world seemed all right
  I'm beggin' you, baby, please stop that off-the-wall jive
  'Cause if you don't treat me no better
  It's gonna be your funeral and my trial
  
  Well, the Lord made the world and everything that's in it
  The way my baby loves me, it's a sign that it's it [?]
  She can love to heal the sick, she can love to raise the dead
  You might think that I'm jokin', you better believe what I said
  
  I'm beggin' you, babe, please stop that off-the-wall jive
  Oh, if you don't treat me no better
  It's gonna be your funeral and my trial
  
  I see you laughin'
  Right in my face
  I guess I'm gonna have to put you in your place
  'Cause if talk was criminal
  You'd lead a life of crime
  Because your mind is on vacation
  And your mouth is working overtime
