Lyrics

Don't waste time 'cause there's none to spare
Get up out of bed and comb your hair
An egg and cheese please, a cup of Joe to go
(you know what I want aldoon)
I got to make that 4:20 clam bake, I got to be on the bay

My feet in the sand as I bask in the sun
The sun's sinking down but the day just begun
It's a smooth groove, don't want to miss the show
A namatitist mask under jezebel's spell
Blood fills the tube, ring goes the bell

I'm on the ball, be on the ball, don't waste your time
Be on the ball, don't waste your time, be on the ball
