My Silly Waiting Ditty

(Sung to the tune of the theme from Rawhide. I watched the reruns—along with The Rifleman—almost every Saturday afternoon when I was growing up.)

Waiting, waiting, waiting,

Oh, anticipating,

Day and night I’m waiting,

How long?

Imagination soaring,

Oh Lord You get the glory,

Or maybe I’ll be left

High and dry.

Trying to keep busy

But not forgetting, really,

That sometime my fate

They will decide.

Yes or no, no or yes,

No or yes, yes or no,

Yes or no, no or yes

Which one?

Waiting day, waiting night,

Waiting night, waiting day,

Waiting day, waiting night,

How long?
