This might be fun…

A weird kid in high school would always sing this song that he had made up. I still remember the first line and it pops into my head from time to time (mainly because it happens a lot in my life).

Anyway first line goes like this.

When procrastination takes its toll (bum bum bum)!

You need an ace in the hole (bum bum bum)…

I would have responded earlier, but I kept putting it off – oh well, it fits the theme of the song!
