Songs That Include An Actual Clock Time
What are some songs where an actual clock time is mentioned in the title or lyrics?
For example:
Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon) - The Mamas and Papas
With a clock that always said twelve-thirty
What Time Is It - The Jive Five
Tick tock, it's five o'clock
Tick tock, it's six o'clock
Tick tock, it's seven o'clock
Tick tock, it's eight o'clock
It's Late - Ricky Nelson
If we could a left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time

Reelin & Rockin - Chuck Berry
This one has so many, it may be the all time "time" champ.
Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:21
We was at a rock'n'roll dance having nothing but fun
[Verse 2]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:32
There's nothing I'd rather do than dance with you
[Verse 3]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:43
And everytime I spinned she spinned with me
[Verse 4]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:54
I said, "Dance ballerina girl, go go go!"
[Verse 5]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:05
Man, I didn't know if I was dead or alive
[Verse 6]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:26
But I'm gonna keep on dancing till I get my kicks
[Verse 7]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:28
I gotta get my kicks before it get too late
[Verse 8]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:29
I had to hold her hand, she was still holding mine
As we reeled, reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' 'til the break of dawn
