Step one you say we must wake up
    He lies there still and says we must wake up
    He smiles politely back at you 
    Sun shines politely right on through 
    Some sort of window to your east
    As he goes west and you think east
    The early morning pantomime
    And you begin to wonder what's the time

    Where did I go wrong, my clock's messed up
    Somewhere sprung forward and not fell back
    And I would have known it if I were bright
    Had I known how to save some light

    Let him know it's just a guess
    Cause after all it's just a guess
    Try to glance the calendar
    What was that old reminder
    You stop and think is my brain wrong 
    That thing you've known, well, all along 
    It's Spring Forward then Fall Back and
    It's Spring Forward then Fall Back and

    Where did I go wrong, my clock's messed up
    Somewhere sprung forward and not fell back
    And I would have known it if I were bright
    Had I known how to save some light

    As he begins to make some noise
    You remind him that 'twas Ben Franklin's choice 
    Kite-flyin' mister four eyes
    Ben thought change time instead of skies
    He states an Act of Congress
    He will then say but I digress
    Oh why can't it just be a rhyme
    And you begin to wonder what's the time

    Where did I go wrong, my clock's messed up
    Somewhere sprung forward and not fell back
    And I would have known it if I were bright
    Had I known how to save some light

    Where did I go wrong, my clock's messed up
    Somewhere sprung forward and not fell back
    And I would have known it if I were bright
    Had I known how to save some light

    How to save some light
    How to save some light

    Where did I go wrong, my clock's messed up
    Somewhere sprung forward and not fell back
    And I would have known it if I were bright
    Had I known how to save some light

    Where did I go wrong, my clock's messed up
    Somewhere sprung forward and not fell back
    And I would have known it if I were bright
    Had I known how to save some light

    How to save some light
