lyrics

Put on your hat and let's go drinking,
Not much time for all that thinking,
Now you're with me.
Put on your shoes and let's go dancing,
Aint gonna get no second-chancing,
With me.

You were such a lone boy,
Always on your own, boy,
Never many friends in the world.
Am I just too late? Am I just too late?

Put on your gloves and let's go racing,
You got a lot of life for chasing,
Now you're with me.
Step on the gas and let's get moving,
Aint gonna find much gentle soothing,
With me.

You were such a lone boy,
Always on your own, boy,
Never many friends in the world.
Am I just too late? Am I just too late?

Why should I approach you?
Am I International Rescue?
This stupid old head of mine!
It's the strangest of re-unions,
And it's causing me confusion,
You're a statue, frozen in time.
Am I just too late? Am I just too late?
