I got my hesitatin' feet in my hesitatin' shoes
I believe to my soul I got the hesitatin' blues
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate?

I was born in Pennsylvania, I was raised in France
I'm a dirty old man and I wear silk pants
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate

No, I ain't the doctor nor the doctor's son
But I can play doctor 'til the doctor comes
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate

Well, I ain't good lookin' and I ain't that smart
But how can I finish when you never let me start?
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate

I got a gal down in New Orleans
She's a darn fine gal but she don't keep clean
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate

Now I ain't the preacher nor the preacher's son
But I can shout "Hallelujah" 'til the preacher comes
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate

It's "d" for duckbill, it's "d" for dignity
"D" for Doojee, she made a fool a' me
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate

Well, I was born tomorrow, I died yesterday
If you don't like how I do things then go the other way
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate

I got my psychedelic feet in my psychedelic shoes
I believe to my soul I got the psychedelic blues
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate

Doin' ninety miles an hour, matchin' stride for stride
If we don't find it here then it's on the other side
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now or must I hesitate
Or can I get it now -- now now now -- now now now now now
How now brown cow?  now now now now now now now now
Or must I hesitate?
 
 

    This is another one of those songs that everybody knows the refrain to, and you can keep going as long as the couplets last.  Here are some of the couplets that came along with the song, some we liked well enough to steal from elsewhere, and some we made up ourselves.
