I'm bidin' my time
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin' my time
I'm bidin' my time
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
Beginnin' on Monday
Right through Sunday
Bidin' my time
Next year, next year
Something's bound to happen
This year, this year
I'll just keep on a-nappin'
Bidin' my time
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
There's no regrettin'
When I'm a-settin'
Bidin' my time
Give me, give me
Glass that's full of tinkle
Let me, let me
Dream like Rip Van Winkle
'Cause he's bidin' his time
And like that Winkle guy, I am
Chasin' way flies
How the day flies
Bidin' my time
I'm bidin' my time
I'm bidin' my time
