[00:14.424]When I was nine
[00:16.683]Michael and I
[00:20.712]Entered a talent show down at the Y
[00:27.310]Nine a.m., went to rehearse by some stairs
[00:33.774]Mike couldn’t sing
[00:36.214]But I said, “No one cares”
[00:39.963]We sang, “Yellow Bird”
[00:44.830]And “Let’s Go Fly a Kite”
[00:49.692]Over and over and over
[00:53.376]’Til we got it right
[00:58.796]When we emerged from the YMCA
[01:05.744]Three o’clock sun had made the grass hay
[01:15.039]I thought
[01:17.294]Hey—what a way to spend a day
[01:23.290]Hey—what a way to spend a day
[01:30.262]I make a vow—right here and now
[01:37.173]I’m gonna spend my time this way
[01:43.571]When I was sixteen
[01:45.984]Michael and I
[01:48.405]Got parts in “West Side” at White Plains High
[01:54.490]Three o’clock, went to rehearse in the gym
[02:00.051]Mike played “Doc”—who didn’t sing—
[02:03.720]Fine with him
[02:05.658]We sang “Got a Rocket in Your Pocket”
[02:08.382]And “The Jets are Gonna Have Their Day—Tonight”
[02:14.542]Over and over and over
[02:17.203]’Til we got it right
[02:21.800]When we emerged—wiped out by that play
[02:28.700]Nine o’clock stars and moon lit the way
[02:38.473]I thought
[02:40.446]Hey—what a way to spend a day
[02:46.340]Hey—what a way to spend a day
[02:53.230]I made a vow—I wonder now
[03:00.027]Am I cut out to spend my time this way?
[03:05.494]With only so much time to spend
[03:10.497]Don’t want to waste the time I’m given
[03:15.757]“Have it all—play the game” some recommend
[03:20.529]I’m afraid it just may be time to give in
[03:32.136]I’m twenty nine
[03:35.290]Michael and I
[03:39.097]Live on the west side of Soho, N.Y.
[03:45.753]Nine a.m. I write a lyric or two
[03:51.442]Mike sings his song now on Mad Avenue
[03:57.200]I sing,
[03:58.311]“Come to Your Senses,defenses are not the way to go”
[04:07.005]Over and over and over
[04:10.051]’Til I get it right
[04:14.590]When I emerge from B minor or A
[04:22.015]Five o’clock—diner calls
[04:25.834]“I’m on my way”
[04:31.696]I think
[04:33.797]Hey—what a way to spend a day
[04:39.712]Hey—what a way to spend a day
[04:46.449]I make a vow—right here and now
[04:58.566]I’m gonna spend my time this way
[05:08.418]I’m gonna spend my time this way
