(Ron Mael/Russell Mael)
|
I was born a little premature
|
Mom just couldn't take no more
|
Had no time to learn to cry
|
Goodbye, Mama, got to fly
|
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
|
|
Entered school when I was two
|
PhD'd that afternoon
|
Never entered any sports
|
Didn't look too good in shorts
|
Got divorced when I was four
|
|
CHORUS
|
I've seen everything there is
|
I've done everything there is
|
I've met everyone but Liz
|
Now I've even met ol' Liz
|
No time for relationship
|
Skip the foreplay, let 'er rip
|
You gotta beat the clock, beat the clock,
|
Beat the clock, beat the clock
|
|
I did lots of travelling
|
Parts of me unraveling
|
The Army then rejected me
|
Said I had two flat feet
|
Wore them out when I was three
|
|
Too bad there ain't ten of you
|
Then I'd show you what I'd do
|
I could cheat on five of you
|
And be faithful to you too
|
But there's only one of you
|
|
CHORUS
