Lyrics
Broke my watch this morning Hands won't move at all No more rushing, no more clock Let the good times call Who needs the time Hey, hey, hey Dance till it's fine Hey, hey, hey Who needs the time Late is on time, late is on time Who needs the time Bus is gone, I do not care Boss can wait a while Trumpet playing on the street I am here to smile Who needs the time Hey, hey, hey Dance till it's fine Hey, hey, hey Who needs the time Late is on time, late is on time Who needs the time Tick, tick, stop Everybody hop Who needs the time Hey, hey, hey Dance till it's fine Hey, hey, hey Who needs the time Late is on time, late is on time Who needs the time
