Short insomniacs.
And a teeny tiny band.

Come, back in, the welcome mat is on the floor,

Father with children.
One bar mitzfah that is scrupulously planned.

It's about time, don't ya think?
It's about time to grow up, don't ya think?
It's about time to grow up and face the music.
It's about time.

Since we last spoke
Two years are waning.
I'll try explaining
Just what you missed.

We called a truce.
And fitfully we coexist.
I'm still loose.
She still with the psychiatrist.
So I don't have a psychiatrist,
Except on the Jewish holidays but I still have my son on the weekends.

As mature as my son, who is twelve and a half.
And this tall!
That's all I'd like to be.
That's all!
It's about growing up, getting older, living on a lover's shoulder.
Learning love is not a crime.
It's about time.
It's about time.
It's about time.
