♪
In this time of constant action
When you're jarred for your reaction
There's another way of getting through
So many people in a hurry
Pushing by you in their fury
Trying to get there before you do
If you've ever been through customs
Or police who say let's bust them
It's the one who rushes who will lose
You've got to control your panic
Slow down, pause, and handle it
It's the only way to get on through
So don't you rush it (Keep in time)
Don't you push it (Don't break the rhyme)
Don't you shove it (Just take your time)
Don't you lose control (If you want to)
You must keep it (Keep in time)
Keep it cool (Don't break the rhyme)
You must keep it (Just take your time)
Keep it smooth (If you want to)
(I like to wait for the afternoon as life rushes by)
Slow down
(If you pause for the noonday sun you won't even have to try)
Have you ever been in a traffic jam
Have you ever needed a gram
Ha Ha, I have, but I got over it
Uh-huh, I got over it

Some people choose the darkness
To imagine who their partner is
Or to cover their embarrassment
Well, there's a time of push and shove
In both life and in love
But for me, I'll take the afternoon
And don't rush it (Keep in time)
I don't push it (Don't break the rhyme)
I won't shove it (Just take your time)
I won't lose control (If you want to)
So don't you lose it (Keep in time)
Don't you push it (Don't break the rhyme)
Don't you shove it (Just take your time)
And just keep it smooth (If you want to)
