It's like Cwatchin' your team while you Fsit on the bench
WaGitin' on 5 to Cstart on 6
COut in the summer Fin the AC
GTwo hours left when the Chand's hit 3
If you're Cwantin' overtime, well, Fsorry I'm sick
GWaitin' on 5 to Cstart on 6
[Chorus]
CEverybody watchin' that Ftick-tock tick
The Gslower it goes the Ccloser it gets
We'll be Ccrackin' and a-poppin' and a-Fgivin' it a twist
GWaitin' on F5 to stCart on 6
Hey-Chey (Hey-hey) alFright (alright)
YeGah, we gonna have a little Cparty tonight
Hey-Chey (Hey-hey) alFright (alright)
SGippin' and a-kFissin' someCbody tonight
[Verse 2]
CSunday night comes and I'm Fgettin' depressed
MGonday morning blues and my Chead is a mess
FrCiday rolls around, I'm a-Fgettin' that itch
WGaitin' on 5 to Cstart on 6
