Americans are behind
Hello!
Well i've studied greenwich meantime
And its different from cet
But in europe we're all in line
And that's no big problem for me, ha, ha
But over in the USA
While we're all having our tea
They're maybe just getting dressed
Well that's no way to be
Americans are behind
Well i called them on the telephone
During office hours
I'd spoken to their answerphone
Some silly mumbling cow
She said "i'm sorry we're not open yet
But have a nice day"
But it's gone noon
They're still in bed
They're far behind in the usa
Good lord, can't you hurry up
Americans are behind
Americans, get a move on now!
At the third stroke
We will all have a jolly good time...
Precisely...
