[Verse 1]
I wonder if the De La Salle brothers got papped
And if their Holy Mothers and jealous fathers ever feel trapped?
Did Mary like all the attention?
And did Jesus ever get detention?

[Verse 2]
I wonder if Caesar ever did his sums
And if Joan of Arc ever slipped and sliced her thumb
Chopping onions in double home economics?
And would Archimedes have liked electronics?

[Chorus]
Panic stations don't set in
Don't worry if you're not getting the reward
That you think you deserve
Good things come to those who wait
God knows I've waited patiently
Take a ticket
There's a seat here next to me

[Verse 3]
The number 17 and Steve McQueen seem an unlikely combination
Considering his elevation to Hollywood God and all-round blonde Adonis
I can't see him settling down in Heaton Norris
[Verse 4]
Would Elvis have been able to adapt?
Would he have gone to court over reports his phone was tapped?
Would Priscilla remain and reside by his side
With the lonely loyalty of being his bride

[Chorus]
Panic stations don't set in
Don't worry if you're not getting the reward
That you think you deserve
Good things come to those who wait
God knows I've waited patiently
Take a ticket
There's a seat here next to me

[Chorus]
Panic stations don't set in
Don't worry if you're not getting the reward
That you think you deserve
Good things come to those who wait
God knows I've waited patiently
Take a ticket
There's a seat here next to me
