Meantime Songtext
von Carol Burnett

Before I was born, a lotta things happened,
A lotta things happened, but not to me.
Before I was born, a lotta things happened,
That I didn′t happen to see.

And after I'm gone, a lotta things′ll happen,
A lotta things'll happen, oh Lordy me,
After I'm gone, a lotta things′ll happen,
That I won′t know about then.

So it's the meantime,
Meantime.
All they gave me is that in-between time.
For my lovin′
And my livin'
Gotta do it
In the time I′m given.


Meantime,
Maybe nothin'
To posterity.
But in the meantime,
Doin′ nothin'
Sure is a-worryin' me.

Before I was born, a love happened,
A lotta love happened, I′m well aware.
Before I was born, a lotta love happened,
That I didn′t happen to share.

And after I'm gone, a lotta love′ll happen,
A lotta love'll happen, there is no doubt.
Yes, after I′m gone, a lotta love'll happen,
That I′ll be doin' without.

So it's the meantime,
Meantime.
All they gave me is that in-between time.
For my lovin′
And my livin′
Gotta do it
In the time I'm given.


Meantime,
Maybe nothin′
To posterity.
But in the meantime,
Doin' nothin′
Sure is a-worryin'
The way the times are hurryin′
Meantime,
Sure is a-worryin' me.
