Lyrics
My watch stopped at midnight Right in the middle of the floor I said, who needs the hour When the band wants more Skank till morning Hey, hey, skank till morning Skank till morning Hey, hey, let it ring The clock on the wall says nothing The trumpet says go Every shoe in the building Is stepping to and fro Skank till morning Hey, hey, skank till morning Skank till morning Hey, hey, let it ring No time, no time All the time in the world No time, no time Dance, boys and girls Skank till morning Hey, hey, skank till morning Skank till morning Hey, hey, let it ring Skank till morning Hey, hey, let it ring
