I filed an appeal with Father Time
so I could try and persuade him another time
He said, "Look here, boy, you're just plain wrong
if you think you can move me along
It'll cost you much more than a song
You're just not strong enough for Father Time"

Baby, I did the best I could,
but my clout is far too small
I'm not a hero from Hollywood
so we'll just have to wait after all

I'm on a waiting list for Father Time
so we'll just have to try and gather time
We can't make him go any faster
We're the servants, he's the master,
so tell the Channel 8 broadcaster
we're trying to outlast Father Time
