I guess it started when I was late to my birth
didn’t know what punctuality is worth
I was late to my wedding
I was late to the plane
late to the chorus and the refrain
if I was a politician I’d probably be late to vote
and if I was the captain of a ship i’m sure I’d miss the boat
I don’t know how it always works
I always seem to get the perks
always seem in perfect timing late as I may be
let it be I can see the way that it should be
if I were to miss the boat
chances are it wouldn’t float
that’s the way it goes with me
it would probably sink to the bottom of the sea
