  • What time is it?
    Four-thirty
    It's not late, naw, naw,
    Just early, early, early

    President, he sweat through his talcum
    News paper man, he watch like a falcon
    "Ah, look, daddy-o, sorry, Mr. President, where ya been?"
    Use a little english to doctor the spin

    What time is it?
    Four-thirty
    It's not late, naw, naw,
    It's just early, early, early

    It's my bread and butter
    Ain't got no other
    It's on the TV
    The spin's on me,

    Ayatollah, he's hopping mad
    Jibber about some damn jihad
    Send me back to old Bagdad
    Spind Doctor, it's oh so sad

    What time is it?
    Four-thirty
    It's not late, naw, naw,
    It's just early, early, early

    It's my bread and butter
    Ain't got no other
    It's on the TV
    The spin's on me, Writer/s: AARON COMESS, CHRISTOPHER GROSS, ERIC SCHENKMAN, MARK WHITE
