[Verse 1]
What is the time? Oh god I'm late again
I'm gonna get bollocked if I can't think up something for when
I get to work, and I can't clock in
Scraping the bottom of the barrel, excuses wearing thin
No I'm not a master of evasion
But here's time in life where one must at least try
He's walking down to produce aisle
He fucking knows it, he's gonna lose it
[Chorus 1]
It must feel like the end of the world
To you it probably is, sir
What can I do to make this up to you
These things are sent to test us
[Verse 2]
If being on time was a competition I'd get lost en-route
(I'd get lost en-route)
Ironically this happened too, an elephant escaped from the zoo
Don't believe me? I tell you, it's true!
I made my lunch but forgot to pack any fruit
(Fruit, fruit, fruit)
And if my mum found out she'd probably hit the roof
(Roof, roof, roof)
I got abducted and probed
And only just got home
These kinds of things could happen to anyone
I just hope you know
[Chorus 2]
It was almost the end of my world
When they took me out of my home
I was getting dressed to go to work
When they came and got me
[Chorus 3]
It takes more character
To even show up at all
Sally would have just-a-called in sick
She didn't get abducted
[Breakdown]
Look into my eyes, don't tell me that I lied
It's just a coincidence that my goldfish died
I was gonna come in, god knows I tried
I just lost track of time
[Chorus 1]
It must feel like the end of the world
To you it probably is, sir
What can I do to make this up to you
These things are sent to test us
[Chorus 3]
It takes more character
To even show up at all
Sally would have just-a-called in sick
She didn't
[Chorus 2]
It was almost the end of my world
When they took me out of my home
I was getting dressed to go to work
When they came and got me
[Outro]
I promise this will never happen
Ever again
I will never call in sick
I'll try not to get abducted
What is the time? Oh god I'm late again
