[Intro]
I'm running low
Time to make a hundred
Ninety-nine and a half, it won't do
I'm running low
Time to make a hundred
Ninety-nine and a half, it won't do
[Verse 1]
I'm praying, lord
Time to make a hundred
Ninety-nine and a half, it won't do
I'm praying, lord
Time to make a hundred
Ninety-nine and a half, it won't do
It won't do, it won't do, it won't do
It won't do, it won't do, it won't do
It won't do, it just won't do
Ninety-nine and a half, it won't do
[Verse 2]
It's the half of double five, and at the bottom
You got a full sort of, that's a start
Still you start from the mile
Your half way won't make the grade
Oh, but you're movin'
Slowly improving
Now let me tell you ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three
Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight
Ninety-nine and a half, it won't do
[Refrain]
It's the half of double five, and at the bottom
You got a full sort of, that's a start
Still you start from the mile
Your half way won't make the grade
Oh, but you're movin'
Slowly improving
Now let me tell you ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three
Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight
Ninety-nine and a half, it won't do
[Refrain]
It's the half of double five, and at the bottom
You got a full sort of, that's a start
Still you start from the mile
Your half way won't make the grade
Oh, but you're movin'
Slowly improving
Now let me tell you ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three
Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight
Ninety-nine and a half, it won't do
