Running Late Almost Eight, What Can I Say No Work Today

Dam,
I’m running late
It’s half seven 
Should be at work at eight
 
Brush my teeth
Wash my face
Need a shave
Look a disgrace

I’ll wear last night shirt
Give it a dab with the iron
Few creases gone 
That will do looks fine

Have to have an espresso
With three toast and marmite
Feel the life coming back
Outside looks cold white and bright

Run to the bus stop
It’s five to eight
The boss is gonna kill me
I’ll definitely be late

No busses called a cab
Be here in fifteen this is sad
Standing in this cold
You got to be mad

Cabby’s in a good mood
Singing a song then I hear him say
As I jump out and double money I pay
Merry Christmas, and have a nice day.
