  • Wake up, got another day to get
    Through now, got another man to see
    Gotta call him on the telephone, way-o
    Gotta find a piece of paper

    Sit down, got another letter to write
    Think hard, gotta get a letter just right
    Little ringing on the telephone, woah no
    Gotta write another letter

    No such thing as tomorrow
    All we want (two three go!)

    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head

    Ticking in my head
    Ticking in my head
    Ticking in my head

    If I tell you what I'm doing today
    Will you shut up and get out of my way?
    Someone asked me what the time is, I don't know
    Only know I gotta go now

    No time, tryin' to get a watch repaired
    No time, never got a thing to wear
    Little ringing on the telephone, woah no
    Hear a ringing in my head now

    No such thing as tomorrow
    All we want (two three go!)

    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head

    Ticking in my head
    Ticking in my head
    Ticking in my head

    No such thing as tomorrow
    All we want (two three go!)
    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head

    Ticking in my head
    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
    Time!
    Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head

    Ticking in my head
    Ticking in my head
