[Verse 1]
Hello honey, I just missed the train
My watch must have stopped I guess
Dinner is cold and the kids are asleep
I didn't mean to get you out of bed

[Chorus]
Always late (always late)
Yes, it's always the same
Procrastination is my middle name
But the rest of the world is ahead of the game
And that's why I'm always late

[Verse 2]
Won't somebody give me a ride
I've been out of gas for hours
My mother-in-law's flying in from the coast
She's probably in an ambulance by now

[Chorus]
Always late (always late)
Yes, it's always the same
Procrastination is my middle name
But the rest of the world is ahead of the game
And that's why I'm always late
[Bridge]
Willie, it's time to get up
Willie, you get out of that bed
You'll be late for work again
Willie, Willie!!!

[Verse 3]
Come on honey, give me a chance
I promise to mend my ways
Let's go out for an anniversary dance
You say our anniversary's yesterday?

[Chorus]
Always late (always late)
Yes, it's always the same
Procrastination is my middle name
But the rest of the world is ahead of the game
And that's why I'm always late
