Swell Time
(The Bob Monk Singers)

SWELL TIME
Now I’ve been laggin—kinda draggin’
It’s like my wagon’s lost a wheel
Movin’ slow and can’t get goin’
Gotta do something ‘bout the way that I feel
I’ve been waitin’ and hesitatin’
It’s getting’ late and I’m missin’ out
Without one more word, I’m steppin’ forward
Makin’ it look like there was never any doubt
Chorus
It’s a swell time to change my tune
A swell time—and not a moment too soon
Swell time, what-the-hell time
Maybe a little show-and-tell time
Swell time to sing a new song
Swell time to get someone to sing along
Swell time, swell time, the time is swell for movin’ on
I used to fall into these tired patterns
I couldn’t seem to shake ‘em loose
But now I see what really matters
And I’ve got no excuse
Chorus
No more waitin’ or hesitatin’
Getting’ it straight and I’m workin’ it out
Without one more word, I’m steppin’ forward
Makin’ it look like there was never any doubt
Chorus
Swell time, swell time, swell time, swell time
Swell, swell time
