Pensioner's waiting for leap year to come

and the young singer's waiting to sing

and there's a gardener outside a big estate

waiting for the grass to turn green





The drunk is waiting for an easy mark

the hitchhiker is waiting for a ride

and the prisoner's waiting for a prison break

and the surfer is waiting for the tide





Ah just waiting





You know everything comes to a standstill

nothing seems to make a turn

cause the worm's still waitin' for the early bird

and the early bird's waitin' for the worm





And nobody wants to do nothing

just waiting for a finger in the pie

and waitin' for a call from a TV show

or waitin' for an uncle to die 1-2-3





Everybody's waitin' for something

and nothing ever turns out right

because the night shift is waiting for the morning

and the burglar is waiting for the night.





Congregation is waitin' for the vicar

and the vicar is waitin' for the groom

the groom is waiting for his new bride

But the bride is waitin' for June





And everybody is just waitin'

and nobody wants to settle down

They got their heads in a holo-video





The cretin is waitin for U2 to come on MTV again

but the producer is waiting for the blonde bird

and the blonde girl's waitin' for him





Nobody wants to do nothing

just waiting for their chips and their pie

waitin' for a call from a big quiz show

or waitin' for some rich relation to die





You know everything comes to a standstill

nothing ever makes a turn

and the worm is waitin' for the grass to turn green

while the early bird is waitin' for the worm -aca
