Standard Time

Standard Time, Standard Time
Ev’rybody’s loves the Standard Time
The ground’s still lit and the moon don’t shine
We’s a-goin’ on with Standard Time.

He went off of Standard Time
Didn’t wake up ‘till half-past nine
Lost his job though the clock ran fine
Better get on back to Standard Time

Savings Time around the bend
It comes to the door, don’t let it in
Cost your job and your never gonna win
What do you think of that, my frien’?

Me and my gal, my gal’s son
We got caught in a traffic jam
I don’t even know why we come
Goin’ back when we came from

Standard Time in the afternoon
Ev’rybody singin’ a sorrowful tune
An hour delay -  a socialist boon
Somebody better get rid of it soon.

Standard Time, Standard Time
Ev’rybody’s loves the Standard Time
The ground’s still lit and the moon don’t shine
We’s a-goin’ on with Standard Time.
