Underneath a big clock at the corner Of Fifth Avenue and 22nd street I stood and waited for a girl I knew At the spot where we agreed to meet It was four minutes of two At four of two I stood waiting for the girl I was four minutes early for the date we had planned I was planning to say I was in love with her Just as soon as she showed for a two oclock date And the clock said four of two At four of two I was staring into space She was not yet late according to the clock I was feeling nervous so I kept looking up At the clock sticking out of the side of the building And it still said four of two At four of two I began to feel tired And I rubbed my eyes and again I checked the time It seemed as if the sky was growing dark But I felt reassured when I looked at the clock And it still said four of two I lay my head down on the sidewalk so in case She were coming I would have a better view But no one was there so I stretched out And closed my eyes for a second or two It was four minutes of two At once I awoke to a futuristic world There were flying cars and gigantic metal bugs Id grown a beard, it was long and white But I knew that the girl would be coming very soon For though everything had changed. there was still that clock And it still said four of two
four, two, clock, minute, said
