It used to take a farmer a day to get to town,
Now it takes a minute till his 'plane comes down;

'Cause everything is movin' too fast,
Everything is movin' too fast,
You'd better save your money
'Cause everything is movin' too fast!

You used to eat your spinach, now you never will,
Because you think it's modern to take it in a pill;

'Cause everything is movin' too fast,
Everything is movin' too fast,
You'd better save your money
'Cause everything is movin' too fast!

You used to talk of rockets shootin' to the moon,
I thought that you were crazy but I'm takin' one at noon;

'Cause everything is movin' too fast,
Everything is movin' too fast,
You'd better save your money
'Cause everything is movin' too fast!

I had a covered wagon, then a Model T,
I put them in the junkyard, they're all jumpin' up on me;

'Cause everything is movin' too fast,
Everything is movin' too fast,
You'd better save your money
'Cause everything is movin' too fast!

My pappy used to get his kicks from music that was sweet,
Now he gets his message from a boogie woogie beat;

'Cause everything is movin' too fast,
Everything is movin' too fast,
You'd better save your money
'Cause everything is movin' too fast!

Slow down,
Slow down,
Slow down,
Everything is movin' too fast!
