no one expects the answer to be quick
a simple matter is not what we know
still pride demands that we give the last lick
after warm rain cold air makes the fog thick
but it would take a fool to want breeze blow
no one expects the answer to be quick
you were taught long ago the price of brick
and how to make the faster ones go slow
still pride demands that we give the last lick
to those who demonstrate that they are thick
in spite of all the efforts that we show
no one expects the answer to be quick
only that some good sense be made to stick
within the hardest heads with no outflow
still pride demands that we give the last lick
on the behinds of those who think to prick
our solid patience and escape the blow
no one expects the answer to be quick
still pride demands that we give the last lick
