Don't Hug Me I'm Scared - The Time Song

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 GUY: Oh

YELLOW GUY: What's the time?
CLOCK: Is quarter to nine;
Time to have a bath

DUCK GUY: What do you mean?
We're already clean!
CLOCK: Scrub, scrub, scrub
'til the water's brown

Time is a ruler to measure a 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
A time that's changing all the time
It's time to go to time

RED GUY: But we don't really want to;
We're going to miss our show

CLOCK: Don't be stupid, friends!
C'mon! It's time to go

Time is old, like the Victorian times
STREET VENDOR: With cobbles and plague and speaking in rhyme
CHIMNEY SWEEPER: With cobbles and chimneys, a simpler time
SEWER PERSON: With cobbles and sawdust and batteries and slime

YELLOW GUY: This tree that is old has circles inside.
CLOCK: The tree that is older has shriveled and died

DUCK GUY: The apple that's fresh is ripe to the core
APPLE: And I'm not over time and I'm not anymore

CLOCK: Time can be told by the moon and the sun,
But time flies fast when you're having fun

Nnh!

There's a time and a place for mucking around!

DUCK GUY: Like birthdays!
RED GUY: And camping!
YELLOW GUY: I'm friends with my dad


RED GUY: And then what happened after the olden days?
CLOCK: Time went new and got old, like history
Stuff from the past went into a mystery

YELLOW GUY: An old man died
CLOCK: But look! A computer!
Everything cool!

IT'S THE FUTURE!

Time is now
The future anew
Look at all the wonderful things you can do
With gadgets and gizmos and email addresses

RED GUY: My dad is c-a com-computer

CLOCK: LOOK AT THE TIME!

DUCK GUY: It's twenty past eight; there's fish on my plate
YELLOW GUY: It's twenty past day; there's fish on my tray
DUCK GUY: It's eleven to twelve; there's fish in the bath
RED GUY: It's nine thirty; there's fish everywhere. Fish everywhere


CLOCK: Now you can see the importance of time
It helps us make pizza
It keeps things in line

DUCK GUY: But when did it start?
YELLOW GUY: And when will it stop?
CLOCK: Time is important, and I am a clock

RED GUY: If we run out of time, then where does it go?
YELLOW GUY: Is time even real? Does anyone know?
BIRD: Maybe time's just a construct of human perception
An illusion created by...

CLOCK: Wnraynk
Wnraynk!
Wnraynk!!
Wnraynk!!!
Wnraynk!!!!
Wnraynk
Wnraynk!
Wnraynk!!
WNRAYNK
WNRAYNK!
WNRAYNK!!
WNRAYNK!!!
WNRAYNK!!!!
WNRAYNK!!!!!

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 GUY: EENGH!
Make it stop!

CLOCK: 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
