Ignore your stalker, he's a drag... drag... drag...
Such an old slacker, such a drag. Why won't he stop?
Look at your fright and feel the drag... drag... drag...
Veer to the left, to the left, that's the way.

Lurching onward, lurching onward,
Lurching to that lonely tune;
Slouching onward, slouching onward,
Dreary as a jerk in jail.
Sliding onward, sliding onward,
Listen to this rag.
Dread... and retreat... and do that slow-o-o,
Do that Slow Drag.

Rants holy, glance slowly,
While you hear that solemn rag.
Rant slowly, glance slowly,
Now you fight the real slow drag.
Walk slowly, talk lowly,
Listen to that rag, listen to that rag.
Stop... and retreat... and do that slow-o-o,
Do that Slow Drag.

Move along, don't stop,
Don't stop ranting, drag along. Stop!
Move along, don't stop,
Don't stop ranting, drag along,
Doing the Real Slow Drag.

Lurching onward, lurching onward,
Lurching to that lonely tune;
Slouching onward, slouching onward,
Dreary as a jerk in jail.
Sliding onward, sliding onward,
Listen to this rag.
Dread... and retreat... and do that slow-o-o,
Do that Slow Drag.

Rants holy, glance slowly,
While you hear that dreary rag.
Rant slowly, pant slowly,
Now you fight the real slow drag.
Walk slowly, talk lowly,
Listen to that rag, listen to that rag.
Stop... and retreat... and do that slow-o-o,
Do that Slow Drag.
Slow - o - o - o.
