The time has come for me to speak Uh, oh the time has come And while the silence picks on me I pray not be dumb So I am hunting for the words Just wait 'til I find some I need some syllables do you Know where to get them from? When I am in my house alone My speeches take a week But from my lips when you are near A sound will seldom leak When I was a little girl I coined a mighty text Looking back I blush to hear What I'd come out with next It's now the time for me to speak But what if they talk back Oh when I open up my beak Let's hope that I can quack And if I do look out, beware The truth is hard to take And everything for all I care Can jump into a lake, yeah It's now the time for me to speak But what if they talk back Oh when I open up my beak Let's hope that I can quack, quack
