strut and fret
gnash and wail
ride your troubles
out on a rail
cuz i'm waiting (he's waiting)

place your bets
chase your tail
fortune's winds are
filling your sails
and i'm waiting (he's waiting)

draw your breath and jump for joy
every girl and every boy
memories are just a day away

don't just sit there in a daze
staring at the amber waves
let the world at large
think what it may

take a boat
take a train
take a B-8
single jet plane
i'm waiting (he's waiting)

tighten your grip
loosen your belt
all good things
eventually melt
and i'm waiting (he's waiting)

draw your breath and jump for joy
every girl and every boy
memories are just a day away

don't just sit there in a daze
drowning in the amber waves
let the world at large
think what it may

take a boat
take a train
take a V-8 single jet plane
i'm waiting (bbbmbmb)

drawr another breath jump for joy
every girl and every boy
memories are just a day away
