The Lyrics
We don't need no daylight savings
We don't need no light patrol
No darkened shadows in the morning
Time cops, leave them clocks alone
Hey! Time Cops! Leave them clocks alone
All in all it's just another tick on the wall
All in all it's just a thing that ticks on the wall
We don't need no daylight savings
But sometimes longer days are nice
Go ride a bike or do some jogging
Walk your dogs or cats or mice
hey! people! Set your clocks ahead
All in all you will be springing forward instead
All in all you will be springing forward instead
Spoken:
Wrong! you're late again!
If you don't get your clock right,
You won't know what time it is..
How can you know what time it is if you
Don't set your clock forward?
You! Yes, you with the Timex on, set the hands forward, laddy!
We don't need no light patrol
No darkened shadows in the morning
Time cops, leave them clocks alone
Hey! Time Cops! Leave them clocks alone
All in all it's just another tick on the wall
All in all it's just a thing that ticks on the wall
We don't need no daylight savings
But sometimes longer days are nice
Go ride a bike or do some jogging
Walk your dogs or cats or mice
hey! people! Set your clocks ahead
All in all you will be springing forward instead
All in all you will be springing forward instead
Spoken:
Wrong! you're late again!
If you don't get your clock right,
You won't know what time it is..
How can you know what time it is if you
Don't set your clock forward?
You! Yes, you with the Timex on, set the hands forward, laddy!

Didn't you do well? 555
Thanks for the reminder that it is time once again to lose an hour of our next weekend. Why can't they do this on a Monday at say 9:00 AM so we could all sleep in and then in the fall set them back at the normal time. I did capitolize on this once. I was working a mid shift and got to go home an hour early on the spring forward part. Very nice piece, Royce. I'm not setting my time forward until Sunday morning at 5:55AM.
Has anybody else said it yet?
Hmm...let me see...no...okay!
Royce, this is a very TIMELY parody!

off the wall...5s
From Jesus to ticks on the wall! Ohhh! I thought, here is one dang versatile songwriter! Because having lived in the country I have seen ticks and more ticks and they were usually on the cat, but never on the wall! Imagine my eager expectations to read about ticks who crawl up walls just like cockroaches. Then - heartbreak! Another Barry "Tears on my Pillow" Manilow lyric! What would Jesus do? I have no idea. But I will never again expect that you Royce will ever cross the line from tender spirituality into the hard-core. BRAVO for enabling a salon.
Great job, Royce. Now how about the Lyme Disease version: "Another Tick on the Crawl"?
Thanks for the zany comments, and John B--I've got another one coming that does have something to do with crawl, kind of. Thanks for your support.
Royce should start his own watch line the Millerex. But they would only be right twice a day: at 5:55 A.M and 5:55 PM. :)
Very well done, Royce. Except you're bashing an idea that was conceived by Benjamin Franklin, and Ben Franklin-bashing is off limits for my parodies.
Don't you wish you had all the time you want so you don't need clocks?
Time for another goodie, eh Royce? :-)
I did a word search in MS office for the word "time" once. The error message said "Can't find time". The computer must have been really busy that day.
John Jenkins-Benjamin bashing, eh? Now that's an idea.... thanks to all for comments
I'll be waiting to see that parody, Royce, when you post it. And I know what song it is going to be, I'm pretty sure.
