[Verse 1]
I'm bidin' my time
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin' my time

[Verse 2]
I'm bidin' my time
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
Beginnin' on Monday
Right through Sunday
Bidin' my time

[Bridge]
Next year, next year
Something's bound to happen
This year, this year
I'll just keep on a-nappin'

[Verse 3]
Bidin' my time
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
There's no regrettin'
When I'm a-settin'
Bidin' my time
[Bridge]
Give me, give me
Glass that's full of tinkle
Let me, let me
Dream like Rip Van Winkle

[Verse 4]
'Cause he's bidin' his time
And like that Winkle guy, I am
Chasin' way flies
How the day flies
Bidin' my time
I'm bidin' my time
I'm bidin' my time
