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
When I was born a little premature
You gotta beat the clock you gotta beat the clock
Momma just couldn't take no more
You gotta beat the clock you gotta beat the clock
Had no time to learn to cry
Goodbye mama got to fly
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
You gotta beat the clock you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock you gotta beat the clock
Entered school when I was two
You gotta beat the clock you gotta beat the clock
P H D'd that afternoon
You gotta beat the clock you gotta beat the clock
Never entered any sports
I didn't look too good in shorts
Got divorced when I was four
You gotta beat the clock you gotta beat the clock
Well I've seen everything there is
I've done everything there is
I've met everyone but Liz
Now I've even met old Liz
No time for relationship
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
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
When I did lots of traveling
You gotta beat the clock you gotta beat the clock
Parts of me unraveling
You gotta beat the clock you gotta beat the clock
The army then 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
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 two
But there's only one of you
You gotta beat the clock you gotta beat the clock
Well I've seen everything there is
I've done everything there is
I've met everyone but Liz
Now I've even met old Liz
No time for relationship
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
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
