Well, now they often call me Speedoo but my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl) 
Well, now they often call me Speedoo but my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl) 
And I'm just the kind fellow's always takin' other folks' girls 
(Girls, taking their girls) 

They often call me Speedoo 'cause I don't believe in wastin' time 
(Time (don't believe in) wastin' time) 
They often call me Speedoo 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 Speedoo, he don't never take it slow 

Now they often call me Speedoo but my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl) 
Well, I said it now 
They often call me Speedoo but my real name is Mr. Earl (Earl, Mr. Earl) 
Now I'm just the kind fellow's always takin' other folks' girls 
(Taking their girls) 

They often call me Speedoo 'cause I don't believe in wastin' time 
(Time (I don't believe it) wastin' time) 
They often call me Speedoo but I don't believe in wastin' time 
(Time (I don't believe it) wastin' time) 
Now I've known some pretty women and I've caused them to change their mind 

Uuh, 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 on to 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
