Now there's too many ahead of me
They're all the time gettin' in front of me

I got caught in the rush hour
A fellow started to shower
You with love and affection
Come on, look in my direction
[repeat chorus]
Coda: (repeat to fade w/car horns):
D#m D#m/C#
Oh, much too crowded
D#m/B D#m/A#
Oh, so crowded
