There's no tick tock on your electric clock But still your life runs down There's no tick tock on your electric clock But still your life runs downI'm halfway to heaven and my home in Forest Hills It's half past the eleven and I've got some time to kill I missed my bus connection my train got in too late And I'm forced into reflection by this half hour waitNow I have been a straight man and I've played it by the rules I been a good man, a good husband, a good old fashioned fool I have a fine wife and two children just like everybody's got But after fifteen years of marriage the fires don't burn too hotAh, someone played a trick on me They set me up so perfectly They gave me their morality And then changed the rules they set for meSomeone must be laughing now Though it don't seem funny somehow How the world's accepting now What they once would not allowBack in my younger days The world has changed in so many waysMy mother once said to me So many years ago now Don't you touch those bad girls So I never had girlsUntil I had my Mary when we married My Mary then had my two sons My life as a lover was already done It was over before it had really begunAh, someone played a trick on me They sent this little girl to me She is my new secretary And she's something to seeYeah, she's a nice girl But it's a young world And she lives her life so free And she sure gets through to meShe brings her pad into my office, she wears a sweater and a skirt And somewhere deep inside of me something starts to hurt She's wearing nothing underneath, I can see what's there to see She smiles and says, "You wanted me?" I'd have to agreeYou know how much I want her And I, I know that I could have her I know I could, I know she would Make love to me, so wonderfully God damn, I'm one crazy mixed up mixture of a man.In my head all my life I've been a sinner And in my bed with just my wife I'm still a beginner But tomorrow night I'm taking that little girl out to dinnerNo, no tick tock Electric clock Run downNo, no tick tock Electric clock Run downNo, no tick tock Electric clock Run down ...
