It`s Late

Peak chart position # 9 in 1959


It`s late (it`s late)
We gotta get on home
It`s late (it`s late)
We`ve been gone too long
Too bad (too bad)
We shoulda checked our time
Can`t phone (can`t phone)
We done spent ev`ry dime
It`s late (it`s late)
We`re `bout to run outta gas
It`s late (it`s late)
We gotta get home fast
Can`t speed (can`t speed)
We`re in a slow-down zone
Baby, look at that clock, why can`t it be wrong?

If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
Hope this won`t be our last date

Look up (look up)
Is that the moon we see?
Can`t be (can`t be)
Looks like the sun to me
It`s late (it`s late)
I hate to face your Dad
Too bad (too bad)
I know he`s gonna be mad
It`s late (it`s late)
We gotta get on home
It`s late (it`s late)
We`ve been gone too long



It`s late (it`s late)
We`re `bout to run outta gas
It`s late (it`s late)
We gotta get home fast
Can`t speed (can`t speed)
We`re in a slow-down zone
Baby, look at that clock, why can`t it be wrong?

If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
Hope this won`t be our last date

Look up (look up)
Is that the moon we see?
Can`t be (can`t be)
Looks like the sun to me
It`s late (it`s late)
I hate to face your Dad
Too bad (too bad)
I know he`s gonna be mad
It`s late (it`s late)
We gotta get on home
It`s late (it`s late)
We`ve been gone too long

(It`s late)
