Harry Chapin - Get On With It lyrics

rate me

Harry: "And the excitement continues to build! Eat your heart out, Peter Frampton.")

It seems like two months

'Though I met her tonight

Something just told me

It would work out alright

So I asked her to act out

What was there in our heads

No need for games, babe,

Let's hop into bed

(audience reacts, Harry says, "I figured that'd get ya.")

That's when I said

"Oh, get on with it

Let's get it done

Life is made up of moments

Let's not miss this one

Oh, get on with it

Before it's too late

We know where we're going

There's no, no, no, no need to wait."

But that's when she says

"Let's take it slowly

You don't really know me

If we make it holy

Maybe it will last

What is your hurry

You don't need to worry

The one thing we know

Is that time, time, time goes too fast."

Soon it's working so well

I got her moving in

All the permanent thoughts

Already begin

You see she is the woman

That I want for my wife

I say, "Let's set a date, babe,

And get on with our life."

And that's when I said again

"Oh, get on with it

Let's get it done

Life is made up of moments

Let's not miss this one

Oh, get on with it

Before it's too late

We know where we're going

There's no, no, no, no need to wait."

But once again she says

"Let's take it slowly

Still you don't know me

If we make it holy

Maybe it will last

What is your hurry

You don't need to worry

The one thing we know

Is that time, time, time goes too fast."

I don't know what happened

As we moved along

But all of a sudden

It came out all wrong

She said, "It's all over

Let's not drag out the end

If we split up now

Then at least we'll stay friends."

And that's when she said

"Get on with it

You know it's all done

We had our moments

Don't dwell on this one

Oh, get on with it

You know it's too late

Oh, yes, it's all over

There's no, no, no, no need to wait."

But that's when I say

"Let's take it slowly

You know how you know me

And once it was holy

Don't give up so fast

What is your hurry

You don't need to worry

The one thing we know

Is that time, time, time goes too fast."
