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'
