Well I've studied Greenwich Meantime and its different from CET
But in Europe we're all in line and that's no big problem for me, ha, ha
But over in the USA, while we're all having our tea
They're maybe just getting dressed, well that's no way to be.
Americans are behind (x4)
Well I called them on the telephone during office hours
I'd spoken to their answerphone, some silly mumbling cow
She said "I'm sorry we're not open yet but have a nice day"
But it's gone noon, they're still in bed they're far behind in the USA
Americans are behind (x4)
Good Lord, can't you hurry up
Americans are behind
Americans, get a move on now!
Good God, ??
Hardly dressed, get that thing inside your trousers, how dare you!
SOLO
At the third stroke we will all have a jolly good time...
At the third stroke, at the fourth stroke, it will be...
the fifth stroke and the sixth stroke... oh, dear!
Americans are behind (x6)
Precisely...
