Tick tock, tick tock, we all know the sound.
Time's never there when you want him around.
Every day, any way,
We try and make plans
But he looks with his face
while he collects with his hands,
Grapple my minutes, my hours, my days,
With hold-ups and gridlocks
And countless delayed space
But don't let it get in your way
We all know how old you can get in a day

Time keeps me up with its constant beat,
I can drag my heels or I can move my feet,
Tick tock, tick tock with its constant beat,
You can drag your heels,
But you should move your feet

Just do it, just let go
You just can't stop it, so
Just do it, just let go,
You just can't stop it.
You just can't stop it.

Bells and teachers: it's time to wake up,
We're only here because time ran with luck,
Lady Luck watches, she gives little help,
She does deals whilst we get dealt,
Dealing with me then waving me by,
How time flies! how does time fly?
Can't do anymore, too much on my plate,
Time's screwing me while I'm fucking late,

Time keeps me up with its constant beat,
I can drag my heels or I can move my feet,
Tick tock, tick tock with its constant beat,
You can drag your heels,
But you should move your feet

Just do it, just let go
You just can't stop it, so
Just do it, just let go,
You just can't stop it.
You just can't stop it.

Wait wait wait wait
Wait wait wait wait (I won't)
Wait (I don't want to wait)
Wait wait (I won't)
Wait (I don't) wait (want to) wait wait.

Just do it, just let go
You just can't stop it, so
Just do it, just let go,
You just can't stop it.
You just can't stop it.
