Well I bought me a- paper
'Cause I wanted to know
Just what to do
when the sirens blow
The mayor said
"Well you hadn't oughta run
But just take it easy-
when the sirens hum"
chorus:
I'm taking it easy-
I'm taking it slow
I ain't a-gonna worry
When the sirens blow
I'm taking it easy-
I'm taking it slow
I ain't a-gonna worry
When the sirens blow
There's a pretty little woman
Lives down the street
For years and years
Been dying to meet
When the blackout came
What did I find
But she had the same thing
On her mind
(chorus)
Just taking it easy
Just taking it slow
I ain't a-gonna worry
When the sirens blow
I'm taking it easy
I'm taking it slow
I ain't a-gonna worry
When the sirens blow
(chorus)
Well the boat whistle blew
Way down on the dock
And I walkled to the shelter
Down the block
When I got there
What did I see
But that pretty little woman
By the side of me
(chorus)
Just taking it easy
Just taking it slow
I ain't a-gonna worry
When the sirens blow
I'm taking it easy
I'm taking it slow
I ain't a-gonna worry
When the sirens blow
(chorus)
Well I wanted her to know
I was a natural man
So I took the situation
Well in hand
When the all-clear signal
Begin to whine
That pretty little woman
Said she'd be mine
(chorus)
Just taking it easy
Just taking it slow
I ain't a-gonna worry
When the sirens blow
I'm taking it easy
I'm taking it slow
I ain't a-gonna worry
When the sirens blow
(chorus)
