Time Is of the Essence (From "Galavant Season 2")

Time is of the essence

So I need your acquiescence

If we're going to save this fellow from the grave

Let me finish

Time is of the essence we have minutes

Maybe less, sense as you see

There's not much left of him to save

Yes, indeed

He hasn't got an awful lot of life left in his eyes

But if, in fact

we quickly act we might stop his demise

So, guys, time is of the essence or he dies

Moving on, then

Time is of the essence

See his natural effervescence

is succumbing to the shadow of disease

What I mean is time is of the essence

Take a whiff of that putrescence

I'm detecting notes of dill, and is that cheese?

Either way, I give them half an hour

That's my educated guess

Well, 20 minutes tops

Let's call it 10, the man's a mess

So, yes, time is of the essence

Wait, unless

No, it's of the essence, but

Perhaps we ought to pause right here

to say silent mass

Go ahead and savor it

We might as well, alas

Wait, I have some gas

Shh, let me finish

Time is of the essence

If you've got antidepressants, take 'em now

Your friend is on the verge of death

Let's rephrase it, time is of the essence

And there's not much point in rhyming now

Because frankly he's about to bite the

Crescents!

Excellent

We did all that we could for him

But look how much he bled

We still might do some good for him

if we don't let it spread

I said time is of the essence, keep your head

Time is of the essence

or he's dead... dead... dead

Not dead?

Is he?

Shh! Time is of the essence or he's

Sorry, if only you'd gotten here sooner
