Speed Of Light
The speed of light is out-of-sight
Search for the peerless pun
A year ago was yesterday, time flies when words are spun
The speed of light is out-of-sight
Search for the smoking gun
A year ago was yesterday, time flies when hit-and-run
The speed of light is out-of-sight
Search for the things finespun
A year ago was yesterday, time flies when they're well done
The speed of light is out-of-sight
Search for the all-or-none
A year ago was yesterday, time flies when just begun
The speed of light is out-of-sight
Search for the prize hard-won
A year ago was yesterday, time flies when number one
The speed of light is out-of-sight
Search for the midnight sun
A year ago was yesterday, time flies when having fun
