When I wake up in the morning, I'm a 100 years old My feet on the floor and I'm 99 A good hot shower and I'm looking at 80 After breakfast I'm 79 Gettin' younger by the hour Gotta get home by midnight It's a beautiful day, I'm 64 in new red shoes My kitchen is a dancefloor Lunch time and I'm in my prime 50 and I'm heading for 49 Gettin' younger by the hour Gotta get home by midnight And hour ago I was 41, I said I was 39 But now I'm 20 heading for my teens Hormones drivin' me out of my mind If I stay any longer, I'll buyin' those blue jeans The ones manufactured with the holes all over Gettin' younger by the hour Gotta get home by midnight When the clock strikes 12 Natures resumes her own gravitational plan Then I'm hittin' the road with father time Draggin' me by the hand But I'm gonna leave a little glass slipper behind Before the rats start pulling my van Getting younger by the hour Gotta get home by midnight ♪ My doorbell rang in the middle of the night Prince charming is standing there He gazed into my blue eyes He said, "They're the colour of time" He knelt down by my chair And that little glass slipper just fitted me fine He's waiting for me now in the moon light He said, "Come home whenever you like" I want to run my hands through his curly grey hair So goodnight I gotta get home
