There is nothing new under the sun, as said in class and back in 914 BC.
This song dates back a Fibonacci 55 years by the time it made #7 on BIllboard.
What is my point? The lyrics are just what Arnold S. is talking and writing about. Most folks really do not know what time it is. It is time to as he says, Be Useful, set a goal, read,write, study, work towards that goal.
Chicago recorded "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" in 1969, and it was released as a single in October 1970.
Recording Details
Here are some key points about the song's recording.
- Songwriter — The song was written and sung by Robert Lamm.
- Album — It was included in Chicago's debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, released on April 28, 1969.
- Release Timing — The single was released after the band had two hits from the same album, specifically in October 1970.
- Chart Performance — The song peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1971.
"Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?"
As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me
What the time was that was on my watch
Yeah... and I said
(I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care) Does anybody really care?
(About time) If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) We've all got time enough to cry
And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me
And said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead
And I said
(I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care) Does anybody really care?
(About time) If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) We've all got time enough to cry
And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people
Trying to beat the clock, oh, no
I just don't know, I don't know, I don't know-oh
And I said... yes, I said
(People runnin' everywhere
Don't know where to go
Don't know where I am
Can't see past the next step
Don't have time to think past the last one
Have no time to look around
Just run around, run around think why)
(I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care) Does anybody really care?
(About time) If so I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) We've all got time enough to die
Everybody's working
(I don't care) I don't care
(About time) About time
(Oh no, no) I don't care
A man came up to me and asked me
What the time was that was on my watch
Yeah... and I said
(I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is?

(Oh no, no) We've all got time enough to cry
