[Intro Dialogue: Pharrell Williams]
You know... when I was a kid ,growing up
We used to love playing outside, riding bikes
And that was the 80's, record heatwaves
I mean, people were like...
Dying on the side of the road, getting heatstrokes
The only thing you could do
Was go in the house and, y'know
Take a shower a couple times a day
So...
I'll never forget, I was like seven years old
I closed my eyes... and that's when it started
I started seeing sounds (Sounds... sounds...)
Whoa... (Whoa... whoa...)
[Refrain: Howlin' Pelle Almqvist]
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
[Ad-libs: Pharrell]
Eh...
Yes, yes, right there
I like it, 'scuse me!
Hey...
[Verse 1: Pharrell]
Yeah, you know the scenario
Images circle your mind like a merry-go
If you just tunin into your stereo
Turn this bitch up, here we go
[Refrain: Howlin' Pelle Almqvist]
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
[Verse 2: Shay Haley]
I'm more like a vulture, far from a dove
Don't you mistake this, ma, this is not love
It's lust; no cuddles and hugs
This is for floor and rugs
[Refrain: Howlin' Pelle Almqvist]
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
[Verse 3: Pharrell]
Yo, the sweat on your body, it creates a scent
No liquor, no pills, only that gets me bent
I'm loving your clothes, especially the prints
Get it? The Prince
[Refrain: Howlin' Pelle Almqvist]
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
[Verse 4: Shay]
Hey, you ain't know I was a nasty guy?
You say you wanna flash me, right?
You know only I could smash you right?
Well, alright!
[Refrain: Howlin' Pelle Almqvist]
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
[Bridge: Pharrell, Howlin' Pelle Almqvist]
(Time, for, some, action!) It's time for some action
(Time, for, some, action!) What can you imagine?
(Time, for, some, action!) It's time for some action
(Time, for, some, action!) What can you imagine?
Whoa, whoa, whoa (Time, for, some, action!)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (Time, for, some, action!)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (Time, for, some, action!)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (Time, for, some, action!)
[Interlude: Howlin' Pelle Almqvist, (with Shay Haley)]
I see what's going on
I've been sitting there, all alone
Just waiting and waiting, I've grown tired
(Time for some action)
(Time for some action)
I ain't got nothing to say, nothing to do
But I've been waiting for so long
And I think, I think, I think I'm through
[Outro: Howlin' Pelle Almqvist & Shay Haley]
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
Time for some action
