The Late Nino Quincampoix

Nino is late His watch is probably stopped And if his watch has stopped He had to get it fixed Fixed at the shop That sits across the tracks The same high voltage tracks of Europe's fastest train Lost in thought Nino's half way across the railway tracks The instant the train impacts And current flows through Nino's arteries Which stops his heart While train cars tear his limbs apart And Nino survives They even find his watch Placed back upon his wrist, by a nurse named Nora She gets him to walk She bathes him with a sponge She helps him to his knee when he proposes Who has time for a guy like that For a guy who doesn't know How to tell time How to tell time How to tell How!
