Lyrics
I’m bidin’ my time,
“Cause that’s the kind of guy I’m,
Beginnin’ on a Monday,
Right through Sunday,
Bidin’ my time.
Give me, give me,
Glass that’s bright and twinkles,
Let me, let me,
Dream like Rip Van Winkle.
He’s bided his time,
Like that Winkle guy,
I’m chasin’ ‘way flies,
How the day flies,
Bidin’ my time.
I’m bidin’ my time,
“Cause that’s the kind of guy I’m,
Beginnin’ on a Monday,
Right through Sunday,
Bidin’ my time.
Give me, give me,
Glass that’s bright and twinkles,
Let me, let me,
Dream like Rip Van Winkle.
He’s bided his time,
Like that Winkle guy,
I’m chasin’ ‘way flies,
How the day flies,
Bidin’ my time.
