It's late
Ricky Nelson

it's late (it's late)
we gotta get on home
it's late (it's late)
we've been gone too long
to the fair (to the fair)
we should've checked our time
can't phone (can't phone)
we done spent every dime
it's late (it's late)
we're 'bout to run out of gas
it's late (it's late)
we gotta get home fast
can't speed (can't speed)
we're in a slow-down zone
baby, look at that clock
why can't it be wrong?
if we could've left home at a quarter to nine
would've had fun with plenty of time
we got started just a little bit late
hope this won't be our last date
look up (look up)
is that the moon we see?
can't be (can't be)
looks like the sun to me
it's late (it's late)
i'd hate to face your dad
too bad (too bad)
i know he's gonna be mad
it's late (it's late)
we gotta get on home
it's late (it's late)
we've been gone too long

it's late (it's late)
we're 'bout to run out of gas
it's late (it's late)
we gotta get home fast
can't speed (can't speed)
we're in a slow-down zone
baby, look at that clock
why can't it be wrong?
if we could've left home at a quarter to nine
would've had fun with plenty of time
we got started just a little bit late
hope this won't be our last date
