There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old
We can rock all day and rock in terms of cold
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old, my love
There'll be time enough for talking in nursing homes
Darling, time enough to write an epic poem.
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for talking in the mall, my love
There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead
We will have a velvet pillow for your head
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead, my love
There'll be time enough for sex and drugs in hell
When our pheromones are turned up to eleven
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for sex and drugs in heaven
And time enough for rocking when we're old
