Pippin movie - No Time at All lyrics
rate me<br>
[BERTHE]<br>
When you are as old as I, my dear<br>
And I hope that you never are<br>
You will woefully wonder why, my dear<br>
Through your cataracts and catarrh<br>
You could squander away or sequester<br>
A drop of a precious year<br>
For when your best days are yester<br>
The rest'er twice as dear....<br>
<br>
What good is a field on a fine summer night<br>
When you sit all alone with the weeds?<br>
Or a succulent pear if with each juicy bite<br>
You spit out your teeth with the seeds?<br>
Before it's too late stop trying to wait<br>
For fortune and fame you're secure of<br>
For there's one thing to be sure of, mate:<br>
There's nothing to be sure of!<br>
<br>
Oh, it's time to start livin'<br>
Time to take a little from this world we're given<br>
Time to take time, cause spring will turn to fall<br>
In just no time at all....<br>
<br>
I've never wondered if I was afraid<br>
When there was a challenge to take<br>
I never thought about how much I weighed<br>
When there was still one piece of cake<br>
Maybe it's meant the hours I've spent<br>
Feeling broken and bent and unwell<br>
But there's still no cure more heaven-sent<br>
As the chance to raise some hell<br>
<br>
Everybody....<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
Oh, it's time to start livin'<br>
Time to take a little from this world we're given<br>
Time to take time, cause spring will turn to fall<br>
In just no time at all....<br>
<br>
Now when the drearies do attack <br>
And a siege of the sads begins<br>
I just throw these noble shoulders back<br>
And lift these noble chins<br>
Give me a man who is handsome and strong<br>
Someone who's stalwart and steady<br>
Give me a night that's romantic and long<br>
And give me a month to get ready<br>
Now I could waylay some aging roue<br>
And persuade him to play in some cranny<br>
But it's hard to believe I'm being led astray<br>
By a man who calls me granny<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
Oh, it's time to start livin'<br>
Time to take a little from this world we're given<br>
Time to take time, cause spring will turn to fall<br>
In just no time at all....<br>
<br>
Oh, it's time to start livin'<br>
Time to take a little from this world we're given<br>
Time to take time, cause spring will turn to fall<br>
In just no time at all....<br>
<br>
Sages tweet that age is sweet<br>
Good deeds and good work earns you laurels<br>
But what could make you feel more obsolete<br>
Than being noted for your morals?<br>
<br>
Here is a secret I never have told<br>
Maybe you'll understand why<br>
I believe if I refuse to grow old<br>
I can stay young till I die<br>
Now, I've known the fears of sixty-six years<br>
I've had troubles and tears by the score<br>
But the only thing I'd trade them for<br>
Is sixty-seven more....<br>
<br>
Oh, it's time to keep livin'<br>
Time to keep takin' from this world we're given<br>
You are my time, so I'll throw off my shawl<br>
And watching your flings be flung all over<br>
Makes me feel young all over<br>
<br>
[BETHE AND BOYS]<br>
In just no time at all....<br>
<br>
