Lyrics
Quittin Time
Words and Music by Richard Carlos

You?ve run the race, you?ve made the shot,
The ball has dropped. You?ve punched that clock right between the eyes.
Take these blue duds, you?re trading them in for a fishing pole that?s blowin? in the wind.
No work, no fuss, no this, or that,
It?s just you and you?ve honey and this ol? kitty cat.
Cause baby it?s quitin? time and baby it aint? work that?s on your mind.
You?ve done your time, It?s time to play. Let the phone just ring and ring all day.
No boss to say hey Al can you come in,
just say oh no.no,no boss that would be a sin.
Cause baby it?s quitin? time and baby, it aint? work that?s on your mind.
Pack your bags, get ready to go,
You aint gonna to punch that clock no more cause baby , I said baby, Baby, it?s quitin time.
(spoken) Come on pack them bags and let?s get outta here.
