Helmet Time

By Cecil Pinto
(sung to the tune of Crying Time by Ray Charles)


Chorus:
Oh, it's helmet time again, you're gonna fine me
I can see that challan look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you blow the whistle
That it won't be long before it's helmet time.


ow they say that helmets save our heads from danger
And we should do exactly what we're told
This sudden concern for my head I can't understand
If I lived to be a hundred years old

Ch.
Oh, it's helmet time again, you're gonna fine me
I can see that challan look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you blow the whistle
That it won't be long before it's helmet time


Now you say that it's a rule all the world over
And show me strange statistics till I'm bored
But in which country will you please show me
Do cows and dogs and pigs rule the road?

Ch.
Oh, it's helmet time again, you're gonna fine me
I can see that challan look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you blow the whistle
That it won't be long before it's helmet time


I can drown in the sea without a life jacket
I can gorge myself to death with high cholesterol
But when I decide to ride without a helmet
You conveniently ignore the killer pothole

Ch.
Oh, it's helmet time again, you're gonna fine me
I can see that challan look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you blow the whistle
That it won't be long before it's helmet time


We've been through this charade many times before.
Is it ever going to end, that's the question.
The Government that dares to impose helmets
Is guaranteed to lose the next election

Ch.
Oh, it's helmet time again, you're gonna fine me
I can see that challan look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you blow the whistle
That it won't be long before it's helmet time.

Crying Time
Ray Charles
Music & Lyrics : Owens

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I lived to be a hundred years old

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'.
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now you say you've found someone that you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'.
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
