Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared
The Time Song
[Intro: Red Guy, Duck & Tony the Talking Clock]
C'mon, guys, stop mucking around. We only have five minutes until our show is on
That's not enough time!
There is always time for a song
What? Who is that?

[Verse 1: Tony, Duck & Yellow Guy]
Time is a tool you can put on the wall
Or wear it on your wrist
The past is far behind us
The future doesn't exist
Oh
What's the time?
It's quarter to nine
Time to have a bath
What do you mean? We're already clean
Scrub, scrub, scrub 'til the water's brown
Time is a ruler to measure the day
It doesn't go backwards, only one way
Watch it go round like a merry-go-round
Going so fast like a merry-go-round

[Bridge 1: Tony & Red Guy]
Let's go on a journey
A journey through all time
A time that's changing all the time
It's time to go to time
But we don't really want to
We're going to miss our show
Don't be stupid, friends
C'mon, it's time to go
[Verse 2]
Tony: Time is old like the Victorian times
Street Vendor: With cobbles and plague and speaking in rhyme
Chimney Sweeper: With cobbles and chimneys, a simpler time
Sewer Person: With cobbles and sawdust and batteries and slime
Yellow Guy: This tree that is old has circles inside
Tony: The tree that is older has shriveled and died
Duck: The apple that's fresh is ripe to the core
Apple: And I rot over time and I'm not anymore
Tony: Time can be told by the moon or the sun
But time flies fast when you're having fun
Nnh!
There's a time and a place for mucking around
Duck: Like birthdays
Red Guy: And camping
Yellow Guy: I'm friends with my dad
[Yellow Guy's Dad grunts]
Red Guy: And then what happened after the olden days?

[Bridge 2: Tony, Yellow Guy, Duck & Red Guy]
Time went new and got old like history
Stuff from the past went into a mystery
An old man died
But look, a computer
Everything's cool, it's the future
Time is now, the future anew
Look at all the wonderful things you can do
With gadgets and gizmos and email addresses
My dad is c-a com-computer
[Yellow Guy's Dad grunts]
Look at the time!
It's quarter to eight, there's fish on my plate
It's twenty past day, there's fish on my tray
It's eleven to twelve, there's fish in the bath
It's nine thirty, there's fish everywhere
Fish everywhere
[Verse 3: Tony, Duck, Yellow Guy & Red Guy]
Now you can see the importance of time
It helps us make pizza, it keeps things in line
But when did it start?
And when will it stop?
Time is important, and I am a clock
If we run out of time, then where does it go?
Is time even real? Does anyone know?
Maybe time's just a construct of human perception
An illusion created by--

[Interlude: Tony & Yellow Guy]
Wnraynk! Wnraynk! Wnraynk!! Wnraynk!!!
Wnraynk!!!! Wranynk! Wranynk! Wranynk!!
WNRAYNK! WNRAYNK! WNRAYNK!! WNRAYNK!!!
WNRAYNK!!!! WNRAYNK!!!!!
Sunrise, sunset, night and day
The changing seasons, the smell of hay
Look at your hair grow, isn't it strange
How time makes your appearance change?
EENGH!
Make it stop!

[Outro: Tony]
It's out of my hands, I'm only a clock
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine
But eventually everyone runs out of time
