Beat the Clock

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Well, I was born a little premature

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Mom just couldn't take no more

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Had no time to learn to cry

Goodbye, Mama, got to fly

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Entered school when I was two

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

PhD'd that afternoon

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Never entered any sports

Didn't look too good in shorts

Got divorced when I was four

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Well, 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, you gotta beat the clock

You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Well, I did lots of travelling

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Parts of me unravelling

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

The Army then rejected me

Said I had two flat feet

Wore them out when I was three

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Too bad there ain't ten of you

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

Then I'd show you what I'd do

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

I could cheat on five of you

And be faithful to you too

But there's only one of you

Well, 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 relationships

Skip the foreplay, let 'er rip

You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock

You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

(You gotta beat the clock)
