Racing With the Clock

Girls
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
Can't waste time, can't waste time, can't waste time, can't waste time
When you're racing with the clock
When you're racing with the clock
And the second hand doesn't understand
That your back may break and your fingers ache
And your constitution isn't made of rock

It's a losing race when you're racing with the
Racing racing racing with the clock

Hines
(spoken) Hurry up, girls. Seconds are ticking. Seconds are ticking. Hurry up.

Girls
Hurry up, hurry up
Hurry up, hurry up
Can't waste time, can't waste time
Hurry up, hurry up
Can't waste time
Hurry up, hurry up
Can't waste time

When you're racing with the clock
When you're racing with the clock
And the second hand doesn't understand
That your back may break and your fingers ache
And your constitution isn't made of rock
It's a losing race when you're racing with the
Racing racing racing with the clock

It's a losing race when you're racing with the

Racing racing racing racing racing racing
Racing racing racing racing racing racing
With the clock.
