What  all can you give, With five  minutes to live?
 Hear the tock  tick tock of the laughing clock.
What  will you do or say?
Maybe  you oughta pray.
 But you better  think positive.
You  got five  minutes to live.
Time  is flying by, now don't you sit  there and let it fly.
 Better come  on strong, you be here long.
That  bell is gonna ring.
This  is a final fling.
 Ain't no  alternative.
You  got five  minutes to live.
 (GUITAR SOLO)
What  all can you give, With five  minutes to live?
 Get dressed  for your date or you're gonna be late.
Live  a little while you can.
Don't  sit there and ring your hands.
 Here comes  a great big sedative.
You  got five  minutes to live.
