[Verse 1]
Well, I always felt that I had quite a gift
As a judge of human character
This is the day and the time and the place
And I wonder, wonder where you are
Surely we set it for 3PM
Surely we said it was March the 10th

[Chorus]
(Equator, equator)
You said you'd meet me there
You must be just around the bend

[Verse 2]
Well, all of the gifts are now melted or dead
And I'm sorry, sorry in advance
I'll make it up to you, that I can promise you
If I am given just half the chance
God, you'll be laughing, I look a mess
But you see I've been half way around this place

[Chorus]
(Equator, equator)
You said you'd meet me there
(Equator, equator)
You said you'd be right there
(Equator, equator)
Oh, yeah
(Equator, equator)
Do-do-do-do
(Equator, equator)
Do-do-do-do-do-do
(Equator, equator)
Oh, yeah
