Karaoké Cardiac Arrest Madness

Papers in the morning bowler hat on head

Walking to the bus stop he's longing for his bed

Waiting with his neighbours in the rush hour queue

Got to get the first bus so much for him to do

He's got to hurry got to get his seat

Can't miss his place got to rest his feet

Ten more minutes 'till he gets there the crossword's nearly done

It's been so hard these days not nearly so much fun

His mind wanders to the office his telephone desk and chair

He's been happy with the company they've treated him real fair

Think of seven letters begin and end in C

Like a big American car but misspelt with a D

I wish this bus'd get a move on driver's taking his time

I just don't know I'll be late oh dear what will the boss say?

Pull yourself together now don't get in a state

Don't you worry there's no hurry

It's a lovely day could all be going your way

Take the doc's advice let up enjoy your life listen to what they say it's not a game they play

He'll never get there at this rate he's caught up in a jam

There's a meeting this morning it's just his luck oh damn

His hand dives in his pocket for his handkerchief

Pearls of sweat on his collar his pulse-beat seems so brief

Eyes fall on his wristwatch the seconds pass real slow

Gasping for the hot air but the chest pain it won't go

Tried to ask for help but can't seem to speak a word

Words are whispered frantically but don't seem to be heard

What about the wife and kids?

They all depend on me

We're so sorry we told you not to hurry

Now it's just too late you've got a certain date

We thought we made it clear we all voiced our inner fears

We left it up to you there's nothing we can do

Don't you worry there's no hurry

It's a lovely day could all be going your way

Take the doc's advice let up enjoy your life

Listen to what they say it's not a game they play
