What song was that? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

fxp · 01-22-2012, 10:08 AM

I'm looking for any information about a song Postie sang in the show. I don't have much information unfortunately but what I do know is that he sings it in the first 3 seasons (possibly later also but I don't remember). I know some of the lyrics go ,"look up......gonna be late........your dad". I know that the information is very vague, if I find any more I will post. The key part is the "look up" as I'm almost positive that was part of the chorus if not the chorus. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

i'm thinking it's Ricky Nelson's "It's Late"

http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/r.../its_late.html

It's late (it's late) We gotta get on home
It's late (it's late) We've been gone too long
Too bad (too bad) We shoulda checked our time
Can't phone (can't phone) We done spent ev'ry dime
It's late (it's late) We're 'bout to run outta gas
It's late (it's late) We gotta get home fast
Can't speed (can't speed) We're in a slow-down zone
Baby, look at that clock, why can't it be wrong?

If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
Hope this won't be our last date

Look up (look up) Is that the moon we see?
Can't be (can't be) Looks like the sun to me
It's late (it's late) I hate to face your Dad
Too bad (too bad) I know he's gonna be mad
It's late (it's late) We gotta get on home
It's late (it's late) We've been gone too long

It's late (it's late) We're 'bout to run outta gas
It's late (it's late) We gotta get home fast
Can't speed (can't speed) We're in a slow-down zone
Baby, look at that clock, why can't it be wrong?

If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
Hope this won't be our last date

Look up (look up) Is that the moon we see?
Can't be (can't be) Looks like the sun to me
It's late (it's late) I hate to face your Dad
Too bad (too bad) I know he's gonna be mad
It's late (it's late) We gotta get on home
It's late (it's late) We've been gone too long

(It's late)

I like that song. In fact, I heard it yesterday

It is a good tune. I had the couple of lines I knew stuck in head until robyrob came to the rescue. Cool little fact about Ricky Nelson, "He placed fifty-three songs on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1957 and 1973." Pretty impressive I'd say. Too bad we didn't get more of his music in the show.
