Throw her a line, she’s sinking fast
   Show her a sign, don’t make her laugh
   Don’t try putting it on
   Show her the time is here at last
   And only the past is in the past
   Don’t try bringing it on
  
   If it were you, you wouldn’t wait so long
   And if you were true you wouldn’t carry on
   On and on
  
   So, throw her a line, she’s sinking fast
   Show her a sign, don’t make her laugh
   Don’t try putting it on
   Show her the time is here at last
   And only the past is in the past
   Don’t try bringing it on
  
   ‘Til there was you I was the only one
   ‘Til there was you she didn’t carry on
   On and on
  
   Oh, throw her a line, she’s sinking fast
   Show her a sign, don’t make her laugh
   Don’t try putting it on
   Show her the time is here at last
   And only the past is in the past
   Don’t try bringing it on
  
   I hope you don’t mind if I just have to say
   Just talking up high, it is the only way
   Only way
  
   So, throw her a line, she’s sinking fast
   Show her the time is here at last
   Throw her a line, she’s sinking fast
   Show her the time is here at last
   Throw her a line, she’s sinking fast
   Show her the time is here at last
   Throw her a line, she’s sinking fast
   Show her the time is here at last
   Throw her a line
