Standard Time
Laborers love Labor Day,
It makes them optimistic;
Ground hogs cherish Ground Hog's Day---
They're awfully chauvinistic.
Gluttons love Thanksgiving Day
When turkeys they dismember,
But for me my favorite day
Comes the week before November.I can't wait till we get back on Standard Time
And Daylight Savings is through;
For the night when we return to Standard Time
Means an extra hour with you.
That's the time that we'll make up for April's lack
Of sixty minutes of bliss,
For the moment when we set our watches back
We're gonna stretch out each kiss.
I can't wait till we get back on Standard Time---
That lovely Sunday in fall---
At the stroke of 2 a.m.,
We'll have a sensual ball.
And, my darling, wouldn't it be so sublime
If Daylight Savings took flight
And surrendered one full hour to Standard Time
Every single night.
