Lyrics
Well now, they often call me Speedoo
But my real name is Mr. Earl
Well now, they often call me Speedoo
But my real name is Mr. Earl
Known for meetin’ brand-new fellas
And takin’ other folks’, girl
Well now, they often call me Speedoo
‘Cause I don’t believe in wastin’ time
Well now, they often call me Speedoo
‘Cause I don’t believe in wastin’ time
Well, I’ve known some pretty women
And that’s caused them to change their minds
Well now, some may call me Joe
Some may call me Moe
Just remember Speedoo
He don’t never take it slow
Well now, they often call me Speedoo
But my real name is Mr. Earl
Well now, they often call me Speedoo
But my real name is Mr. Earl
Well now, some may call me Moe
Some may call me Joe
Just remember Speedoo
He don’t never take it slow
Well now, they often call me Speedoo
But my real name is Mr. Earl
Well now, they often call me Speedoo
But my real name is Mr. Earl
And now they got to call me Speedoo
‘Til they call off makin’ pretty girls
