  • It's my turn, it's not your turn
    It's my turn, get outta my way
    It's my turn, go on complain
    I'm comin' through anyway
    Don't ask me why I'm like this
    But lately I'm wonderin' if
    It'll come to pass
    That the last shall be first and the first shall be last
    Then the voice says.

    Here's the way it oughtta be
    You then me then you then me
    Well, I pray one day we'll all agree
    And take it you then me then you then me
    Life could go you then me then you then me

    It's easy, you wait then go
    It's easy, so make your move
    It's easy, don't clown around
    Could've gone six times by now
    But no sir, you gotta be a pain
    Or is this your own way of sayin'
    We should all cool down
    And be more like the man who was born back in Bethlehem town?
    I betcha He'd say

    If we could only put You first
    Maybe this ugly trend could one day be reversed

    It's your turn, it's not my turn
    It's your turn, well let's just say
    We'll trade off, first you then me
    Then after that, we might agree

    Let's try it, it could be good
    And what if one day it should
    Really come to pass
    That the last shall be first and the first shall be last
    Betcha we'd say: Writer/s: GRAHAM SHAW, ROBERT SIDNEY JR. HALLIGAN
