The Twelfth of Never
Excuse me, but I really don’t have time
I can’t stay I hope you don’t mind
Silly me, I’m always losing track
With your help I might get back
By a quarter to the twelfth of never
Pardon, could you point me in the right direction
Seems I’m at a crossroads, an intersection
I’m all turned around, quite lost you see
I know there’s somewhere I’m supposed to be
Sure I’ll try the corner of the twelfth of never
Forgive me, do you know when success begins
Or what a girl’s to do with all her sins
I’m afraid I may have missed my chance
Sounds like you’ll finally get that dance
When it’s half past the twelfth of never
Ope, I’m sorry I should have known
My one shot, figures, it’s blown
The wrong place, the wrong time, eh
Story of my life, well maybe another day
That’s right next year on the twelfth of never
Well see you later and thanks again
I’m sure I’ll give up, but who knows when
What’s your name , I keep forgetting
Failure, that’s right, it’s very fitting
Don’t you worry, I’m quitting.
On the twelfth of never
