CHORUS:
It's about time, time to have a little talk
We're gonna find, find out all about the clock
Cause it's nice, to be more precise, when it's about time.
We're way past little hand and big hand
Start with quarter hours and you'll understand
3:15, 3:30, 3:45
Divide the clock in 4 parts, and that's no jive
Now we can see the reason and rhyme, when it's about time
CHORUS
Each number on the clock has another job too
It represents five minutes so it tells you
1:05, 1:10, or 1:15
Say in more detail what time you mean
Now we can see the reason and rhyme, when it's about time
60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour
24 hours every day,
7 days in a week, 365 in a year
If you add 'em up I reckon, that's a lot of seconds!
CHORUS
You can also tell time before the hour too
Converting standard time isn't hard to do
2:40's equivalent to twenty to three
Ten to six, or 5:50 both work for me,
Now we can see the reason and rhyme, when it's about time
60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour
24 hours every day,
7 days in a week, 365 in a year
If you add 'em up I reckon, that's a lot of seconds!
(60 times 60 times 24 times 365 equals 31,536,000 . . . Okay, I used a calculator!)
CHORUS
Take my advice, you can be more precise And it's about time! Whoah, yeah!
