Give Me Some Time to Think the Whole Thing over

my first impression is fine
though you've imposed a condition

I will in fullness of time
consider your proposition

I mustn't get you annoyed
I think your terms are attractive

but it is best to avoid
my being over pro-active

you've got to give me some time
to think the whole thing over

yes if you give me some time
I'll think the whole thing over

the present business at hand
demands immediate attention

but you must quite understand
my need for full comprehension

you've made it perfectly clear
you think the matter is urgent

but you have nothing to fear
our views are almost convergent

so if you give me some time
I'll think the whole thing over

yes if you give me some time
I'll think the whole thing over

you've written in majuscules
a most important addendum

in which you've stated the rules
but could we possibly bend 'em ?

I'm not inclined to decline
I think the offer is tasty

but I'll examine each line
we mustn't be over-hasty

you've got to give me some time
to think the whole thing over

before the signature's mine
I'll think the whole thing over

yes if you give me some time
I'll think the whole thing over

before I sign on the line
I'll think the whole thing over

before I push on the pen
before I let flow with the ink
before I proffer my monika
I must have time to sit down and to think

so if you give me some time
I'll think the whole thing over

yes if you give me some time
I'll think the whole thing over
