I ain't got no time at all.
But then the fortune hit me,
I was caught up on a quiz.
I answered every question.

He didn't go too far.
He let me keep enough to

or at least for a while.
But then the trend changed,
and rock and roll moved in.

And, well, I'm a daily pedometer short, daily pedometer short,

daily pedometer short, and I got no time at all.
