What's the Time?

What's the time? Half-past eight!
Tug your stocking seams 'til straight.
What's the time? Half-past nine!
Take a sip of chilled white wine.
What's the time? Half-past ten!
Choose between available men.
What's the time? Half-past eleven!
Round the world and go to heaven.
What's the time? Half-past midnight!
Smoke a cigarette, by a street-light.
