Look at him running there`s so far to go,
He`s very short of breath
And he`d said don`t be late
Just don`t be late
With his parcel tucked tight under his arm
He`s sure he`s passed half way
And he`d said don`t be late
Just don`t be late.
DID YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU`RE TOLD
THE INSTRUCTION YOU HAD WAS OLD
I wasn`t sure if I`d hear you
I`m glad you`re still allright
IT`S ALL BEEN ARRANGED FOR TEN
THE STREETS SHOULD BE CLEAR BY THEN
I`ve done all that you told me
I`m sure that they will wait
THEIR TIMING WAS MADE QUITE CLEAR
IF WE`RE LATE THEY WILL NOT APPEAR
They don`t know, they don`t know
They don`t know how far we`ve had to go
CAN YOU PICK UP THIS SLOWING PACE
YOU`RE RUNNING A LOSING RACE
No ! Soon we`ll see them
Then you`ll know
That I have not delayed, he said
[Chorus]
Hurry and don`t be late
You`d better hurry you might be late
Just hurry and don`t be late
You`d better hurry you may be late
IF WE`RE LATE I WILL NOT SURVIVE
THEY WILL KEEP ME ALIVE
It`s not too far now
And I can only wish you luck friend
I`M SORRY I GO ALONE
THIS METAL IS A COLD HOME
I can see they`re waiting
A few more steps and you`ll be there, he said
[Chorus]
Just hurry and don`t be late
You`d better hurry you may be late
