In a fortnight's time you will be mine
|
I'll bide my time
|
You're a paradigm of womankind
|
You could be mine
|
I disgust myself, but I've got to try¡¦
|
I catch your eye
|
|
Would you like to go on a date with me?
|
And I know it's old-fashioned to say so
|
Five times five equals twenty five
|
Don't you know your times tables by now?
|
O-who
|
Don't you know?
|
|
On the last train home, you wanna phone
|
Instead, you rub your eyes
|
The reflection's grim in the windowpane
|
It's the human stain.
|
So, you have a drink to erase the day¡¦
|
There's another way
|
|
Would you like to go on a date with me?
|
And I know it's old-fashioned to say so
|
Five times five equals twenty five
|
Don't you know your times tables by now?
|
O-who
|
Don't you know?
|
|
When it comes to girls, I'm mostly hypothetical
|
If I list their names, it's purely alphabetical
|
When it comes to girls, I'm truly theoretical
|
If I test their nerve, it's merely dialectical
|
|
And so¡¦
|
Would you like to go on a date with me?
|
And I know it's old-fashioned to say so
|
Five times five equals twenty five
|
Don't you know your times tables by now?
|
O-who
|
Don't you know?
|
I said, don't you know?
|
|
In fortnights time you will be mine
|
You will be mine.
