It's gone two o'clock
According to my watch
You take your time
Well, take your time but don't take mine

Because I need some help to get a start
My pencil's sharp
My papers see
Go down a mark

Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Nothing to it all

I'm a dim, I'm a dumb
I'm just as numb
As a kid can be
A kid can be, as a kid like me

It's gone three o'clock
Hurry up, hurry up
You still have time
The end of term is all that is on your mind

Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Nothing to it all
Nothing to it all

Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, nothing to it
Nothing to it all

Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, you can do it
Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, you can do it
Calm down, relax a bit
You've got to get on top of it
A-ha, you can do it
You can do it all
You're free tonight

A-ha is a Norweigian synth pop group formed in 1982. All ten of their studio albums have either reached #1 or #2 in Norway – the first three also reaching the top 10 in several countries across Europe – with a total of over 35 million sold worldwide. They became a ‘teen pin-up band’ and were followed by screaming, enthusiastic fans. In 2012, all three members were appointed to knighthood in Norway for their contributions to music.

Frontman Morten Harket was lured away from the blues/soul group Soldier Blue in 1982 by keyboardist Magne Furuholmen to join his band with guitarist Paul Waaktaar. When Harket saw a song in Waaktaar’s notebook that was going to be titled either “a-ha” or “A-hem”, he suggested naming the band “a-ha”.

A year later, the band released their debut single “Take On Me” in 1984 to huge success in Norway. However, when the song was re-recorded and re-released alongside their debut album Hunting High And Low in the summer of 1985 it achieved massive international success, reaching #1 in eleven countries. Its success was definitely aided by its groundbreaking, award-winning music video of pencil-sketch animation combined with live-action shots.
