(esther navarro)

Well, now they often call me speedo but my real name is mr. earl
Well, now they often call me speedo but my real name is mr. earl
And i'm just the kind fellow's always takin' other folks' girls

They often call me speedo 'cause i don't believe in wastin' time
They often call me speedo but i don't believe in wastin' time
I've known some pretty women and i've caused them to change

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
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

They often call me speedo 'cause i don't believe in wastin' time
They often call me speedo but i don't believe in 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
