high time we went

joe cocker

well

it's five o'clock in the morning

feel just like the end of a mule

somebody's been yawning

trying to break out the rules. yes

it's high time we went

ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went there?

ain't it high time we went?

well

it's four o'clock in the morning

somebody's shouting the news

nobody's been yawning

preachers all around for the blues. ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

three o'clock and i'm dreaming

somebody's shouting the way

nobody can see me

trying to find a brand new day. ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

two o'clock and i'm rolling

everywhere i look is the same

somebody's been calling

trying to put the blame on my name. ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

it's one o'clock and i'm falling

falling for the same old game

somebody's been shouting

let me be by the stage. ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

ain't it high time we went?

well

it's twelve o'clock and i got there

didn't think i'd make it in time

somebody's been shouting

don't forget the lemon and lime."
