It's time I started thinking on my feet instead of on my back Now I got time, time enough at last
Time enough at last, boy Time enough at last It's been the bane of my life But I've got time enough at last I got time Time enough at last Time enough at last, boy Time enough at last And sometimes people think you're just stupid But I got time at last I got time Time enough at last Time enough at last, boy Time enough at last Time enough at last, boy Time enough at last Cos I got time Time enough at last It's just stupid thinking about the past Cos I got time enough at last In a city in turmoil It's hard to extract the brains from the head of a minor executive But now I got time Time enough at last Time enough at last, boy Time enough at last Time enough at last, boy Time enough at last And the projectiles hit you when you least expect it But I got time Time enough at last From a summit of experience to the pit of its knowledge Cos I got time Time enough at last Time enough at last, boy Time enough at last I got time Time enough at last
