Chicago - Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is Lyrics

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was
on my watch, yeah
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no


And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had
stopped cold, yeah
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no


And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock,
oh no, I just don't know,
I just don't know
And I said, yes I said


Background Vocal:
People runnin' everywhere
Don't know the way to go
Don't know where I am
Can't see past the next step
Don't have to think past the last mile
Have no time to look around
Just run around, run around and think why


Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to die
Oh no, no

... maybe he just wants to show us his cars that have a lisp! :)
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

No. "Liederhosen" are song pants. Your original post mentioned liederhousen. I have no idea what those are. Now I own, and often wear, lederhosen. Leder is leather and hosen are pants. Thus, lederhosen are leather pants. I have spent hundreds of hours wearing them. They are surprisingly comfortable. I still wonder what any of this has to do with St. Patrick's Day.

Just caught up with this thread now:

Wouldn’t it be appropriate to make a joint convention with the Hosaphists?:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hosaphone-fans/

At some point of time I wanted a pair of knee-long Lederhosen in a good quality. Not the ones with nylon zippers.

But they are expensive beyond belief, if you want the real thing with antler buttons and the right suspenders. Some of my best brasses have cost less (it is just a matter of doing the optimal second hand deals).

But then I wouldn’t want to buy a pair of second hand Lederhosen in dark brown.

How do tuba conventions work?

As I see it most tubists are far too conventional. And then there is the minority, which isn’t conventional at all.

Tuba players get together, eat bad food together, and drink cheap beer together. Then they listen to better players and philosophize as to why they are better. Then they play instruments that are either crap or fantastic depending on whether thay are more expensive than the one owned by the tuba player in question. They may even listen to someone talk about playing the tuba, in addition to actually playing the tuba. Spouses rarely come, and those who do are real troopers.

I enjoy them.

Guess you are true, Rick!

The sad thing is, that I have heard about child abuse in connection with such an event!

Sampson was taken there before he was even one year old.

I am not really serious about the abuse aspect. My older daughter would strum a pre-tuned guitar chord with her right hand while buzzing my Bach #3 trombone mouthpiece holding it in her left hand. She would make a few breaks crying out: "Rock! Rock! Rock!" (not in Danish)

But then she was an autodidact (aside from the guitar tuning and listening to her parents practicing plus following up on anything happening on TV and radio) elderly lady of 22 months. Quite a sight and hearing!
