Look at [bad word] there's so far to go,
He's very short of breath
And he'd said don't be late [Don't be late]
Just don't be late [Don't be late]

With his parcel tucked tight under his arm
He's sure he's passed half way
And he'd said don't be late [Don't be late]
Just don't be late [Don't be late]

[Did you do everything you're told]
[The [bad word] you had was old]
I wasn't sure if I'd hear you
I'm glad you're still allright

[It's all been arranged for ten]
[The streets should be clear by then]
I've done all that you told me
I'm sure that they will wait

[Their timing was made quite clear]
[If we're late they will not appear]
They don't know, they don't know
They don't know how far we've had to go

[Can you pick up this slowing pace] [bad word] a losing race] No!
Soon we'll see them then you'll know
That I have not delayed, he said

Hurry and don't be late
You'd better hurry you might be late
Just hurry and don't be late
You'd better hurry you may be late

[If we're late i will not survive]
[They will keep me alive]
It's not too far now
And I can only wish you luck friend

[I'm sorry i go alone]
[This metal is a cold home]
I can see they're waiting
few more steps and you'll be there, he said

Hurry and don't be late
You'd better hurry you might be late
Just hurry and don't be late
You'd better hurry you may be late

Just hurry and don't be late
You'd better hurry you may be late
