Lyrics
Quarter Till June (by Austin Kaufmann)
Half past May and a quarter till June
Took forever coming, yet it came too soon.
The little voice inside my head said, "Look out, buddy. You are dead."
But I didn't listen and now I'm wishing, I'd have heeded what it said:
doo, doo, be true to yourself.
doo, doo, be true to yourself.
doo, doo, ba da BAH da
da da da da dada da
Way past sense, I'm in over my head.
And there's a great big cloud of guilt over my bed
’Cause my body started groovin' a little faster than my head was movin'.
And now I am paying the price for my playing on ice.
doo, doo, you do it to yourself.
doo, doo, you do it to yourself.
doo, doo, ba da BAH da
da da da da dada da
Yes, I know I've got to go solo.
But I can't to save my soul. Oh
My, why do I have to go solo?
I guess just to save my soul. Oh
Good-bye, baby. Baby, good-bye.
Good-bye, baby, don't you cry.
What's past is past is cast in stone.
And there's no use digging up them bones.
Since I know I am forgiven, I guess I should get back to livin'.
But coping is tougher than moping, and moping is rough, rough enough.
doo, doo, be true to yourself.
doo, doo, be true to yourself.
doo, doo, ba da BAH da
da da da da dada da
Yes, I know I've got to go solo.
But I can't to save my soul. Oh
My, why do I have to go solo?
I guess just to save my soul. Oh
Good-bye, baby. Baby, good-bye.
Good-bye, baby, don't you cry.
