What are you waiting for,
What are you waiting for, Mary?
What are you thinking 'bout,
Who are you thinking 'bout, Mary?
The bees are buzzing, they're buzzing right in my ear,
And they keep on asking,
"Hey, what's the big idea?"

Think of the moon above,
Doesn't it speak of love, Mary?
Why do you lead me on,
Why do you be so contrary?
You wouldn't let my castle come tum-tum-tumbling down,
Think of the things in store,
What are you waiting for, Mary?
