[Verse 1]
Didn't you ever feel like the largest Elizabeth in the world?
Usually at a time when the boy is oblivious to the girl
I read in the paper the other day this has been happening to everybody more and more
The scientists are on the case but they still haven't figured out what it is that it is happening for

[Chorus]
Slow down, slow down, slow down

[Verse 2]
Wouldn't you like to feel like yourself after suffering so many years, years, years?
If you were asked to the party by somebody else you wouldn't be sitting home in tears
Maybe you're one of those interesting people who don't go outside but they get their best work done
By keeping themselves in the house off the street and away from the scene when it's time for the rest to have fun

[Chorus]
Slow down, slow down, slow down
Come on, slow down, slow down

[Bridge]
They say the world's over
Goodbye see you next time, next time
You don't have to go

[Verse 3]
What if the after effect of the terrible bomb is unusual beyond belief?
Wouldn't you rather the whole population had listened to somebody like the old Indian Chief?
Turn it around like a rig and go back to the simple truck stop on the way to a fortunate world
You might be the largest Elizabeth but Elizabeth is still a good name to have if you're a girl
[Chorus]
Slow down, come on, slow down
Slow down, slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down, slow down
