[Chorus] Stretch out and wait, stretch out and wait Let your puny body lie down, lie down As we lie, you say As we lie, you say Stretch out and Stretch out and wait, stretch out and wait Let your puny body lie down, lie down
[Chorus] So, stretch out and wait, stretch out and wait There is no debate, no debate, no debate How can you consciously contemplate When there's no debate, no debate? Stretch out and wait Stretch out and wait Stretch out and wait
[Outro] Wait Wait Wait Wait
