[Verse]
Jesus said don't do a thing till he gets back
Hold your horses don’t unpack
Keep the door on its hinge
Let the dust settle in

[Prechorus]
But the clock keeps ticking
Loud and proud
And the city's buzzing
Drawing a crowd

[Chorus]
Don't touch the wine
Don't play the sax
Don't light the fire or melt the wax
He said wait
He said wait
Jesus said don’t do a thing till he gets back

[Verse 2]
The brass is shining but the band stands still
The piano's waiting for its thrill
The world spins wild
A carousel
But we stand tight
Under his spell

[Prechorus]
The moon's whispering
"Take a chance"
But the stars say
"Wait for the dance"

[Chorus]
Don't touch the wine
Don't play the sax
Don't light the fire or melt the wax
He said wait
He said wait
Jesus said don’t do a thing till he gets back
