SINGER: Lovin' Spoonful

SONG:Six Oclock

Six o'clockthe lovin' spoonful- written by john sebastian- as recorded by the lovin' spoonful (released april 29, 1967)- entered the billboard top 40 the week of may 20, 1967 and stayed for 5 weeks, peaking at #18 the week of june 10, 1967.there's something special about six o'clockin the morning when it's still too early to knock.and the dusty light shines down on the blockand reflects up and down on the hands of the clock.six o'clock, six o'clock.a few hours ago she was standing herejust watching the stars in our eyesand the lights as uptights disappear.and i could feel i could say what i wantthat i could nudge her and call her my confidantand now i'm back alone with just my shadow in front.six o'clock, six o'clock.i went home and found that trying to sleep was a laughjust watching my eyelids knowing my brain bids the night not to pass.i got up and got to scuffling aroundbut somehow it just wasn't the same happy townand the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound.six o'clock, six o'clock.if i go back where we partedcould i ever be like that again?guess i'll just have to wait 'til tomorrowbut what can i do? tell me...guess i'll go back home and just wait until dawnguess i had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all.and i wish my head had been working rightwe'd have gone for coffee and talked all night.now i'm back alone and i'm twisted uptight.six o'clock, six o'clock.now i'm back alone...yes, now i'm back alone...i'm back alone...corrected by: curt miller <curt.miller@sen.ca.gov>
