[Verse 1]
It's Sam the man with a master plan (Hello)
As time goes by
When I'm finished, you'll know why
As the time stands still, you probably will
[?] don't stop
I'm the rap philosopher
Jive talk composer
To rock the nation, is our number one obligation
Play it again Sam
This music is no sham
Say, play it again Sam
This music is no sham
And as some would say, Humphrey Bogart
Oh Harvey, I'd rather not
He's looking at you kid
He probably did
Time reading the magazine
Royalties and music scenes
But this is time together
We should stay together
Never mind the weather
Time for the wife
To lay the kitchen table
Time for the electrician
To fix the cables
Time for Lea & Perrins sauce
With pickled herring
Like waiting for the bus
As time goes by and the time stands still
When you hear the rush
As time goes by and the time stands still
Waiting for your first date
As time goes by and the time stands still
Hope each won't be late
Can you dig-dig-dig-dig-dig dig it?
Said VHF, Panasonic, JVC, Hitachi
Remember the time, General Custer raided Apache?
When I have no cash, like Harpo Marx
I'm the wisdom kid, master flash

[Verse 2]
See that girl, over there?
She's [?] suicide
Deutschmarks, dollars (Dollars), pounds (Pounds), francs (Francs)
I've got that, in the bank
Got time to lose (Got time to prove)
Got time to waste ('Cause you're always late)
10 past and quarter two
Can I make myself serious to you?
Money in your wallet
Sure can't stop it
Each minute on the clock
Is another buck
Oh somebody scream
Ahh!
Oh, oh (Argh)

[Verse 3]
Play it again Sam
This music is no sham
Said, play it again Sam
This music is no sham
Said, play it again Sam
This music is no sham
Said, play it again Sam
This music is no sham
And as some would say, Humphrey Bogart
[?]
He's looking at you kid
He probably did

[Verse 4]
10 past and quarter two
Can I make myself [?] to you?
Got time to lose
When you start to [?]
Got no time to waste
'Cause you're always late
It's 10 past and quarter two
Can I make myself, [?] to you?
Got money in your wallet
Sure can't stop it
And each minute on the clock
It's another buck

[Outro]
I said each minute on the clock
It's another buck
I said each minute on the clock
It's another buck
I said each minute on the clock
It's another buck
I said each minute on the clock
It's another buck
I said each minute on the clock
It's another buck
I said each minute on the clock
It's another buck
