Lyrics Ry Cooder – Speedo

Well, now they often call me Speedo but my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl)
Well, now they often call me Speedo but my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl)
And I’m just the kind fellow’s always takin’ other folks’ girls (Girls, taking their girls)

They often call me Speedo ’cause I don’t believe in wastin’ time (Time (don’t believe in) wastin’ time)

Some they call me Moe and some they call me Joe
But just remember Speedo, he don’t never take it slow

Now they often call me Speedo but my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl)
Well, I said it now
They often call me Speedo but my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl)
Now I’m just the kind fellow’s always takin’ other folks’ girls (Taking their girls)

They often call me Speedo ’cause I don’t believe in wastin’ time (Time (I don’t believe it) wastin’ time)
They often call me Speedo but I don’t believe in wastin’ time (Time (I don’t believe it) wastin’ time)
Now I’ve known some pretty women and I’ve caused them to change their mind

Uuh, honey, here comes that old Mr. Earl again, honey
He’s so fine
Oh, get on away from here, girl. I ain’t going to be bothered with you tonight
He can get low down too, can get to be a low down son of a bitch
Don’t you be holding on to me now, get away
Hello, Mr. Earl
Hey, you look good to me
You too, baby
What’s your name?
My name is Mary Lou
