I'm bidin' my time
‘Cause that's the kind of boy I'm
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin' my time
Next year, next year
Somethin's bound to happen
This year, this year
I'll just keep on nappin'
And bidin' my time
‘Cause that's the kind of boy I'm
There's no regrettin'
When I'm settin'
Bidin' my time [3x]
Beginnin' on a Monday
Right through Sunday
Bidin' my time
Give me, give me
Glass that's full of tinkle
Let me, let me
Dream like Rip Van Winkle
He bided his time
And like that Winkle guy I'm
Chasin' 'way flies
How the day flies
Bidin' my time [4x]
