Got The Time Lyrics

Wake up, got another day to get through now
Got another man to see
Got to call him on the telephone, hey oh
Got to find a piece of paper
Sit down, got another letter to write
Think hard, got to get a letter just right
There's a ringing on the telephone, oh no
Got to write a little later

No such thing as tomorrow, only (1, 2, 3, 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
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' 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, trying to get a watch repaired
No time, never got a thing to wear
Hear the ringin' of the telephone, no, no
Hear a ringin' in my head now

No such thing as tomorrow, only (1, 2, 3, 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
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head

No such thing as tomorrow, only (1, 2, 3, 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
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' 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--

Cover art for Got The Time lyrics by Joe Jackson

This song is the business, covered by the almighty ANTHRAX and lost none of its charm of appeal neither.

been listening to a lot of Joe Jackson lately, and i realized this song sounded familiar...because i'd heard the Anthrax cover years back.

anyways, classic song.
