No matter what I do I'm always running late To be the last one to arrive seems to be my fate
I try to get up early set my alarm just so But when the buzzer sounds my body just won't go.
Its the same when I'm at work like I have no concept of time Things I expect to take an hour always end up taking nine
Its not lack of respect or anything so grand see my internal hour glass has a problem with its sand.
I think the sand got wet once so it doesn't smoothly flow and now you have to tap me just to make me go
But I think I have the answer The sand just has to dry So I'm off to Bermuda on a sunny beach I'll lie
My plane leaves at four thirty got my ticket, know my gate Arrived here four hours early to make sure I'm not too late
As I walk up to the airline desk to check in, get on my way You're not gonna believe this my flight left yesterday!!!
