The song begins with what sounds like a middle A note, or part of an

Lyrics:
Windout - if you're out of wind
Windout - if you're really spent
Windout - if you're young and red
Yeah, tick tock, it's tine o'clock
Once is good enough, you really go...
So find out - if you're really spent
Find out - if you're out of wind
Windout - if you're out of sin
Winding up
There's no doubt - that you're feeling fine
No doubt - that you're out of mind
No doubt - that you're young and red
Windout - if you're really spent
Find out - if you're young and red
Windout - if you're out of wind
If you're young and red
Tick tock time to clock my band
Once is good enough, you really go...
Windout, find out, no doubt
Windout, find out, no doubt
Windout, windout, windout
