You could drive the car
so fast you're scared
With your new ignition coil
and your brand new spare
Pass on the right, dodge the fare
He won't be there,
he won't be there
You can turn up your amp
till it hurts your ears
Wiggle the cable till the sound is clear
Set your alarm, grind your gears
He would not hear, he would not hear
Singing time is over
Singing time is over
You can cheat and win at solitaire
Hold your breath when
you come up for air
Offer him your spare airfare
He would not care, he would not care
Hand in hand with his deadly foe
You could turn up late and miss the show
Or sit in the middle of the very front row
He would not know,
he would not know
Singing time is over
Singing time is over
Let's go, my sons,
let's go, my sons
Come on, come on,
let's all go home
No more, no more,
one day we will know more
Oh, but now let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's go
Come in first at the Spelling Bee
or tap dance live on NBC
Or read a book with the nominee
He would not see, he would not see
Though the tears stung your eyes
You sold his things at the bringin' by
And told him twenty times goodbye
He would not cry, he would not cry
Singing time is all over
Singing time is all over
If no one had had enough
In or out, below or above
And though you whispered, sweet and soft
He would not love, he would not love
