 Struggling with Speedo? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Well, now they often call me Speedo
But my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl)
Well, now they often call me Speedo
But my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl)
And I'm just the kind of fellow who's always takin' 
Other folks' girls (girls, taking their girls)

[Chorus]
They often call me Speedo, 'cause I don't believe 
In wastin' time (time, don't believe in wastin' time)
They often call me Speedo, but I don't believe 
In wastin' time (time, don't believe in wastin' time)
I've known some pretty women
And I've caused them to change their mind (mind, change their mind)

Some, they call me Moe, and some, they call me Joe
But just remember Speedo, he don't never take it slow

Now they often call me Speedo
But my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl)
Well, I said it now,
They often call me Speedo
But my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl)
Now I'm just the kind of fellow who's always takin'
Other folks' girls (taking their girls)

[Chorus]

Uh, honey, here comes that old Mr. Earl again, honey
He's so fine!
Oh, get on away from here, girl.  I ain't going to be bothered with you tonight
He can get low down too; can get to be a low down son of a bitch
Don't you be holding onto me now, get away!
Hello, Mr. Earl!
Hey, you look good to me
You too, baby
What's your name?
My name is Mary Lou
