In A Minute - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
IN A MINUTE. Copyright, 1894, by Henry J. Wehman. Written and sung by Jas. McAvoy. 
I've always had a steady gait until a week ago, What makes me quicker in my pace I'm going to let you know; There's lot's of time for everything, whatever we may do, And if you are not busy I'll explain it all to you. 
Chorus. In a minute, in a minute, I'll explain it while your waiting, list'ning to me while relating, in a minute, in a minute, It will only take a minute for to tell you what I mean. 
This byword strikes me forcibly a thousand times a day, Should you call upon a friend when in a hurry, we will say, He drops whatever he is at before he stops to think, Should you understand him rightly if you ask him for to drink: 
Chorus. It's in a minute, in a minute, not a minute, but a second, He does not wait to reason, in a minute, in a minute, The beer it might get flat before a minute. 
A pretty girl might pass a crowd of nasty, horrid men, You wait awhile, that pretty girl will pass right back again; "She's out of sight, a beauty bright," is whispered in the crowd, And while in hearing distance some one hollers out quite loud: 
Chorus. In a minute, in a minute, In a minute to surrender, Some fellow walks behind in a minute, in a minute; If he's any good she'll know it in a minute. 
The girls are just as desperate, that is when they get a chance, She can always catch a fellow with her pretty, girlish glance; She might be older than she looks, though made up gay and slick, If she's away up in the thirties, that's you are to shake her quick. 
Chorus. Well, In a minute, In a minute, just tell her you are sorry, But you're In an awful hurry, In a minute, in a minute, Say good night And keep her guessing for a minute.
