lirik lagu dina merrill & lara teeter - the heart is quicker than the eye
[peggy]
dear old mother was as wise as ten folks
and she knew her way around the men folks
once she said to me
“daughter, you’re quite a pup
daughter, dear, it’s time to wise you up”
she said, “love has always been my hoodoo
though i’ve lived, i know much less than you do”
mother told me
there’s no use asking why
he loves she and she loves he
the heart is quicker than the eye
mother warned me
that fair play doesn’t apply
turn your back and love goes whack!
the heart is quicker than the eye
love can k!ll you off, baby
faster than “flit”
it finds its mark
and toots, you’re it
dear sweet mother
was careful and so sly
“but my dear, you see i’m here”
the heart is quicker than the eye
[junior, spoken]
that’s very interesting, miss porterfield

in december 1905
mother got a little snootful
in september 1906
i was born alive and beautiful
i recall a few years later
i was taken with the measles
and my darling little mater
just sat up all night
with a good~looking guy
[junior]
oh me, oh my
[peggy]
we would travel quite a lot
but we always went to reno
she’d remarry like a shot
not for long, but how could she know?
number four was a musician
who could swing it sweet and hot
“whistler’s mother” is a classic
mother’s whistler was not
he was dropped like the rest
[junior]
mother always knows best
it may seem strange to you
i have a mother too
mother told me
“be good until you die”
she meant well, but could she tell
the heart is quicker than the eye?
mother warned me
my instincts to deny
yet i fail, the male is frail
the heart is quicker than the eye
she said, “love one time, junior
look at the lunts”
i’ve fallen twice
with two at once
passion’s plaything
that’s me, oh me, oh my
but at least i’m quite a beast
the heart is quicker than the eye
[junior, spoken]
miss porterfield, i want to thank you for your advice
[peggy, spoken]
you’re welcome
[junior, spoken]
but it didn’t do me any good
[peggy, spoken]
i didn’t think it would
[junior, spoken]
well, c’est la vie
[peggy, spoken]
same goes for me
[junior, spoken]
you know, i don’t know which way to turn
or which way is which
[peggy, spoken]
that’s what i told you
[peggy]
the heart is quicker than the eye
mother begged me
“don’t drink with any guy”
so i was made on lemonade
[peggy & junior]
the heart is quicker than the rye
