It Came On Fast When I Heard The Blast
And The Main Generator Gave A Giant Gasp
It Was Round About Midnight, About Half Past
And The City Went Black As Coal So Fast

Oh, What A Time
Everybody Was Fazing, Hazing
Oh, What A Time
It Was Time To Be Amazing
Time To Lose All Reason Or Rhyme
What A Time

It Was Bad To Worse, As The Landlord Cursed
And The Water Tank In The Backyard Burst
We Were Slipping And Sliding And Killing Thirst
And We Couldn't See A Soul Doing It In The Dirt

Oh, What A Time
Everybody Was Praising, Raising
Oh, What A Time
It Was Time To Be Amazing
Time To Lose All Reason Or Rhyme
What A Time

A Thousand People Singing In The Dark
Couldn't See A Thing
A Thousand People Singing In The Dark

Oh, What A Time
Everybody Was Razing, Grazing
Oh, What A Time
It Was Time To Be Amazing
Time To Lose All Reason Or Rhyme
What A Time
