About The Song…
♫♫ Determined to be a fun song – and it is – but, a more challenging theme to write about… Dedicated to those of you who also hate them playing with your time! [You can’t give away someone else’s time!]…Speaking of time, modestly, we cut the whole song in three hours. We have great memories of playing and debuting this one on WWDB - 96.5 FM. As Marc says – “Clock touching is WRONG!”

Lyrics
Leave those clocks alone, Leave those clocks alone
While you're losing me by confusing me
Won’t you leave those hands where they are
Leave those clocks alone, Leave those clocks alone
No more springing ahead, no more falling back
We don't need less rest, we're not afraid of the dark
Leave those clocks alone, Leave those clocks alone
Daylight savings time all the time (x 4)
(T-Tick Tock, T-Tick Tock)
Leave those clocks alone, Leave those clocks alone
We don't get time back, we're so busy that
One hour more or less, it's an untimely mess
