In a fortnight's time, you will be mine, I'll bide my time   You're a paradigm of womankind, you could be mine   I distrust myself but I've got to try, I catch your eye      Would you like to go on a date with me?   And I know, it's so old fashioned to say so   Five times five equals twenty-five   Don't you know your times tables by now?   Don't you know?      On the last train home, you wanna phone   Instead you rub your eyes   The reflection's grim in the windowpane, it's the human stain   Do you have a drink to erase the day? There's another way      So would you like to go on a date with me?   And I know, it's so old fashioned to say so   Five times five equals twenty-five   Don't you know your times tables by now?   Don't you know?      When it comes to girls, I'm mostly hypothetical   If I list their names, it's purely alphabetical   When it comes to girls, I'm truly theoretical   And if I test a nerve, it's merely dialectical      And so would you like to go on a date with me?   And I know, it's so old fashioned to say so   Five times five equals twenty-five   You should know your times tables by now   Don't you know? I said, don't you know?      In a fortnight's time   You will be mine, you will be mine
