Early morning Car keys hanging 'round my neck Lunch is packed for later The FM-dial is set Illuminated by the red and white dashboard lights Kiss my babe goodbye Tell her "I'll be home by five" I'll be home by five I'll be home by five In the evening Key still hanging 'round my neck It weighs me down along with the stereotypical hat But no matter No matter how far that I drive Baby, I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five I'll be home by five
