Oh yeah!

Oh - it's automatic (narcotic) let's ride

Four turkeys in a big black car

The road is shiny (black shine) the wheels slide

It all goes for a dangerous ride

The lacquer crackles (black car) the engine roars

A ship is turning, they come back to the shore

Splish splash I was raking in the cash

The biology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface

King's lead hat was a mother to desire

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

King's lead hat put the innocence inside her

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

In New Delhi and Hong Kong

We all know that it won't be long

I count my fingers (here she comes) as night falls

And draw bananas on the bathroon walls

The killer cycles (hum drum) the killer hertz

The passage of my life is measured out in shirts

Time and motion (motion carried) time and tide

All I know and all I have is time and time and tide is on my side

King's lead hat was a poker in the fire

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

King's lead hat was a mother to desire

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

The weapon's ready, the gun's on

The satellite can toss and turn

The captain's here (sieg heil) but nobody hears

The king's hat fits over their ears

He dials zero (cold line) on every time

He tries to dial out 999999999

He dials reception, he's all alone

He's just a victim of the telephone

King's lead hat made the Amazon much wider

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

King's lead hat was a mother to desire

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

King's lead hat put the innocence inside her

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

King's lead hat was the poker in the fire

It will come, it will come, it will surely come

Oh yeah!
