Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared
The Time Song
[Red Puppet] Come on guys, stop mucking around
We only have five minutes until our show's on [Duck Puppet] That's not enough time
[Tony the Talking Clock] There's always time for a song
[Red Puppet] Huh, who is that?

[Tony the Talking Clock] Time is a tool you can put on the wall or wear it on your wrist
The past is far behind us, the future doesn't exist

[Duck Puppet] Oh
[Yellow Puppet] What's the time? [Tony the Talking Clock] It's quarter to nine
Time to have a bath
[Duck Puppet] What do you mean? We're already clean
[Tony the Talking Clock] Scrub, scrub, scrub 'til the water's brown

Time is a ruler to measure the day
It doesn't go backwards, only one way
Watch it go 'round like a merry-go-round
Going so fast like a merry-go-round

Let's go on a journey, a journey through time
Time is changing all the time, it's time to go to time

[Red Puppet] But we don't really want to
We're going to miss our show
[Tony the Talking Clock] Don't be stupid, friends
Come on, it's time to go

Time is old like the Victorian times
[Civilizan 1] With cobbles and plague and speaking in rhymes
[Civilian 2] With cobbles and chimneys, a simpler time
[Peasant] With cobbles and sawdust and batteries and slime

[Yellow Puppet] This tree that is old has circles inside
[Tony the Talking Clock] The tree that is older has shriveled and died
[Duck Puppet] The apple that's fresh is ripe to the core
[Apple] And I rot over time and I'm not anymore

[Tony the Talking Clock] Time can be told by the moon or the sun
But time flies fast when you're having fun

*Grunt* There's a time and a place for mucking around
[Duck Puppet] Like birthdays [Red Puppet] and camping
[Yellow Puppet] I'm friends with my dad

[Red Puppet] And then what happened after the olden days?
[Tony the Talking Clock] Time went new and got old like history
Stuff from the past went into a mystery
[Yellow Puppet] An old man died
[Tony the Talking Clock] But look, a computer
Everything's cool, it's the future

Time is now, the future anew
And look at all of the wonderful things you can do
With gadgets and gizmos and email addresses
[Yellow Puppet] My dad is a com-computer

[Tony the Talking Clock] Look at the time

[Duck Puppet] It's quarter to eight, there's fish on my plate
[Yellow Puppet] It's twenty past day, there's fish on my tray
[Duck Puppet] It's eleven to twelve, there's fish in the bath
[Red Puppet] It's nine thirty, there's fish everywhere, fish everywhere

[Tony the Talking Clock] Now you can see the importance of time
It helps us make pizza, it keeps things in line
[Duck Puppet] But when did it start?
[Yellow Puppet] And when will it stop?
[Tony the Talking Clock] Time is important and I am a clock

[Red Puppet] If we run out of time, where does it go?
[Yellow Puppet] Is time even real?
Does anyone know?

[Duck Puppet] Maybe time's just a construct of human perception
An illusion created by

[Tony the Talking Clock] *Increasingly Louder* Meh, meh, meh, meh
Meh, meh, meh, meh
Meh, meh, meh, meh
Meh, meh, meh, meh

Sunrise, sunset, night and day
The changing seasons, the smell of hay
Look at your hair grow, isn't it strange?
How time makes your appearance change

[Yellow Puppet] Make it stop!

It's out of my hands, I'm only a clock
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine
But eventually everyone runs out of time
