RIGHT ON TIME [Intro – 16 bars, original vibraphone and Rhodes motif, tight funky tech-house drums, playful 8-bit flourishes] [Dry spoken male tenor, confident and teasing] Don’t be late. I don’t like to wait. [Verse 1 – silky rhythmic male tenor, original bass groove, sparse Rhodes chords, vibraphone accents] I don’t wait in line And I don’t wait for you If you want a little piece Better make your move You can check your watch You can check your phone If you think I’m gonna wait You can go on home [Pre-Chorus – drums thin out, vibraphone echoes, filtered bass builds] Listen, baby Let me make this clear If I wanted you tomorrow I wouldn’t want you here You can waste your time Just don’t waste mine [Chorus – magnetic melodic male lead, full funky tech-house groove, bright square-wave accents, vibraphone answers each phrase] Give the people what they want Give it to ’em right on time I said I want you Right on time! Right on time! Right on, right on Right on time! [Instrumental – 16 bars, original vibraphone hook, Rhodes call-and-response, 8-bit arpeggios, no lead vocal] [Verse 2 – intimate rhythmic male tenor, crisp percussion, playful bassline] You’re a little too pretty To be moving that slow Got a face like trouble And nowhere to go You can talk all night You can make your case But the clock keeps ticking And you’re losing your place [Pre-Chorus – filtered synth tension, short vocal pauses, vibraphone delay] Listen, baby I don’t need a sign If you want my attention Better get in line You can waste your time Just don’t waste mine [Chorus – full melodic lead, glossy harmonies, funky bass, Rhodes and vibraphone interplay] Give the people what they want Give it to ’em right on time I said I want you Right on time! Right on time! Right on, right on Right on time! [Instrumental Break – 32 bars, showcase original House of Fun motif, vibraphone solo, Rhodes chords, playful chiptune counterpoint, driving tech-house groove] [Bridge – drums drop out, filtered Rhodes and vibraphone echoes, intimate spoken male vocal] You had all night And you still missed your moment [Build – 8 bars, rising filtered synth, accelerating 8-bit arpeggios, snare tension] [Final Chorus – full groove returns, confident melodic male tenor, stacked harmonies, original vibraphone hook woven into bass-house rhythm] Give the people what they want Give it to ’em right on time I said I want you Right on time! Right on time! Right on, right on Right on time! [Outro – 16 bars, original Rhodes and vibraphone motif, percussion gradually strips away] [Dry spoken male tenor] You’re late. [Instrumental fade]
