Beat The Clock

(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
