Get While the Getting's Good

Turn off the wireless Jasmine

I can’t think straight

I should have left an hour ago

Now it’s getting rather late

Anyone with vision

Would have taken the decision

To get while the getting’s good

To get while the getting’s good

Making my excuses

Stumbling headlong down the hall

I’m not sure what I really want

If anything at all

Anyone with vision

Would have taken the decision

To get while the getting’s good

To get while the getting’s good

I’m not one

To rub your nose

In reams and reams of purple prose

Which is why I wrote this song

And I’m not one

To chew the fat

When all that need be said is that

There’s something very wrong

Anyone with vision

Would have taken the decision

To get while the getting’s good

To get while the getting’s good
