A pilot with both engines gone
A scuba diver's hose gets torn
A truck goes downhill with no brake
(five!) A president who's lost the poll
(four!) A starving man with empty bowl
(three!) And you alone have had as much as you (two!) can (one!) take (time to panic!)

Time to panic, time to panic, time to panic
Time to panic, time to panic, time to panic

A bomb with wires that you can't clip
A stove left on while on a trip
A revolution where they must eat cake
(five!) The car, the wife, the kids are gone
(four!) There's no time left to write this song
(three!) And we don't have much more for them to take (two!), take (one!), take (time to panic!)

Time to panic, time to panic, time to panic
Time to panic, time to panic, time to panic
[sounds of people panicking]
