Lyrics

Well, you can make my life complete

If you say that we could meet

For a minute on the sixty second street

Oh, yeah


The city's melting in the heat

I’ve got my flip flops on my feet

You see me walking down sixty second street


Well, time is flying by so fast

Each day quicker than the last

It means I must be having fun

I hope it carries on and on and on


Sixty seconds of your day

Is all I ask of you

I only need a little time

To show what I can do


Do, do-do-do-do-do

Do, do, do, do-do-do-do

Da, da, do-do-do-da-da

Da, da, da, do-do-do-do

Do, do, do-do-do-do-do

Do, do, do, do-do-do-do

Da, da, da, da


We can grab a bite to eat (wee-ooh, wee-ooh)

Sit and listen to the beat (wee-ooh, wee-ooh)

Of the traffic on sixty second street


Well, time is flying by so fast (do, do do, do)

Each day quicker than the last (do, do do, do)

It means I must be having fun (wee-ooh, wee-ooh)

I hope it carries on and on and on


Sixty seconds of your day

Is all I ask of you

I only need a little time

To show what I can do


Do, do-do-do-do-do

Do, do, do, do-do-do-do

Do, do, do-do-do-do-do

Do, do, do, do-do-do-do

Ba, bop, ba-ba-ja-boo-ba

Bop, bop, bop, bop-ba-ja-boo

Ba, ba, ba, ba


(whistling)


Well, you can make my life complete

If you say that we could meet

For a minute on the sixty second street


Just a minute on the sixty second street

Just a minute on the sixty second street

Sixty second street
