The mercury is only at ten degrees so be sure to bundle up before heading out the door. We'll get to The Hi-Tops' new hit "Late Again" in a minute, but first the traffic update. Fifteen minute delay at the Holland Tunnel, twenty-five at the Lincoln, and the GWB shows and hour and fifty minutes!

When I was a boy
Growing up and in school
I learned reading, writing, arithmetic
Doing all the rules

The school bell rang
And the sun went down
And I played video games
On the other side of town

Early in the morning (early in the morning)
Around three o'clock (around three o'clock)
I shuffled on home (to the)
Winnings in my sock (huh)

Deep in my slumber (in my slumber)
I hear that voice again (that voice again)
It's eleven o'clock! (get your ass out of bed)
Oh I'm late again (late again)

He was up all night (late again)
Sick in bed (late again)
It ain't his fault (late again)
He was nearly dead (late again)

Stubbed his toe (late again)
No, he broke his leg (late again)
Fell down the stairs (late again)
Got up again

It was c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-cold out, cold out, cold outside
And my car wouldn't start
I slammed the door on my hand
It looked like modern art

Shoulda rode the bus
It would've been a smooth ride
I lost my ticket, didn't make it, said forget it
Gonna sit down and cry some time

He was up all night (late again)
Sick in bed (late again)
It ain't his fault (late again)
He was nearly dead (late again)

Left his hat (late again)
Didn't make his bed (late again)
Didn't shut the door (late again)
Forgot his head (late again)

I ran up the stairs
From floor to floor
It was quarter to four
And still had time to show

I said "Teacher, dear
"I'm just lucky to be alive"
She said "Sorry, son, you're late again
"and it's quarter past five" (Get in time)

He was up all night (late again)
Sick in bed (late again)
It ain't his fault (late again)
He was nearly dead (late again)

Left his hat (late again)
Didn't make his bed (late again)
Didn't shut the door (late again)
Forgot his head (late again)

Nine o'clock, alarms are singin'
Ten o'clock, my brain's still swingin'

Eleven o'clock, get up, I think
Twelve o'clock, no, forty more winks

One o'clock, snug in bed
Two o'clock, feet feelin' like lead

Three o'clock, I'll stay reclined
Four o'clock, don't raise those blinds

Time to go home!

It's five o'clock, we're ready to drop
Take it on home it's time to stop
