What's the Time?

from the ABC set Lovers, Liars and Just Good Friends.

What's the time? Half-past eight!
Tug your stocking seams 'til straight.
What's the time? Half-past nine!
Take a sip of chilled white wine.
What's the time? Half-past ten!
Choose between available men.
What's the time? Half-past eleven!
Round the world and go to heaven.
What's the time? Half-past midnight!
Smoke a cigarette, by a street-light.

Time you were in bed, Ewan. Take those stockings off at once!

For second line, just for the sake of a bouncy rhythm, how about 'Tug your stocking seams quite straight', or similar? Then it matches line four, see? Just a thought.
