[Chorus]
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock

[Verse 1]
Well, I did lots of travelling (You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Parts of me unravelling (You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
The army they rejected me, said I had two flat feet
Wore them out when I was three (You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock

[Verse 2]
Too bad there ain't ten of you (You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Then I'd show you what I'd do (You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
I could cheat on five of you and be faithful to you, too
But there's only one of you (You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)

[Bridge]
Well, I've seen everything there is
I've done everything there is
And I've met everyone but Liz
Now I've even met old Liz
No time for relationships
Skip the foreplay, let 'er rip
You gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock
[Chorus]
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
