Most of Elvis' film soundtracks contained at least one "kid's song", a tune Elvis' character sings to a child, and Speedway was no exception. "Your Time Hasn't Come Yet, Baby" wasn't meant to be a chart-topper, just thrown in to go with a movie scene. It's surprising that it did as well as it did in the charts, but in the end it's just a mediocre novelty tune on the flip side of a pretty good movie single. On a side note, the songwriters, Hirschhorn and Kasha, are better known for penning "The Morning After" from The Poseidon Adventure. This was the only song of theirs Elvis recorded. |

Your time hasn't come yet baby You got a lot of dreams to go Your time hasn't come yet baby But when it does your heart will know You're gonna be a beautiful woman Because you're such a beautiful child And when you start to bloom Just like a rose in June I bet the schoolboys all go wild, but right now Your time hasn't come yet baby You got a few dreams to go Your time hasn't come yet baby When it does your heart will know Your life's still a lollipop heaven Your teddy bear's at the foot of your bed The little boy next door who only makes you sore Is gonna some day turn your head but right now Your time hasn't come yet baby You got a few dreams to go Your time hasn't come yet baby When it does your heart will know You're gonna grow over night into a lady With a devastating smile And then a lucky guy will see you And wanna walk you down the aisle, but meanwhile Your time hasn't come yet baby You got a few dreams to go Your time hasn't come yet baby When it does your heart will know When it does your heart will know When it does your heart will know |
