I'm counting out time,

Got the whole thing down by numbers.

All those numbers! Give me guidance!
Eb7 Ab
O Lord I need that now.

The day of judgement's come,

And you can bet that I've been resting,

for this testing, digesting every

word the experts say.

Without you, what would a poor boy do?

Found a girl I wanted to date,
Thought I'd better get it straight.
Went to buy a book before it's too late.
Don't leave nothing to fate.

Getting crucial responses, dilation of the pupils.
D D/C Bb
"Honey get hip! It's time to unzip,
to unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip. Whipee!"
