Think of the Time I Save Lyrics by Michael McKean

Harry on Broadway, Act I

2006

[HINES]
I'm a time study man
And a time study man can't waste time
For a time study man to waste time
Is a crime
So I'm ruled by the tick tick tock
And I live my life by the clock
I live my life by the tick tick tock of the clock
When I go to sleep, I don't undress
Ah yes, I sleep in all my clothes
I must confess
You say a strange way to behave
Well, I do admit that the suit gets mussed
And it gathers lint and it picks up dust
But think of the time I save
[WOMEN]
Think of the time he saves
[HINES]
The alarm clock rings, it's 6 am
And then right there in bed I shave
That's what I said
While I am still in bed, I shave
And the lather drips and the bed gets wet
And oh, what a lousy shave I get
But think of the time I save
[WOMEN]
Think of the time he saves
Tick tock, tick tock, tempus fugit
Tick tock, tick tock, time goes by
[HINES]
How I love to sit and watch those seconds multiply
At breakfast time, I grab a bowl
And in the bowl I drop an egg
Then add some juice
A poor excuse for what I crave
And then I'll add some oatmeal, too
And it comes out tasting just like glue
But think of the time I save
[WOMEN]
Think of the time he saves
Tick tock, tick tock, tempus fugit
Tick tock, tick tock, time goes by
[HINES]
I’ll be sitting counting seconds 'til the day I die
And when I do, I have a plan
Before I'm dead, I'll dig my grave
That's what I said
Before I'm dead I'll dig my grave
'Cause when St. Peter calls my name
I know I'll get there just the same
But think of the time I'll save
[WOMEN]
Think of the time he'll save
[HINES]
Think of the time I'll save
