Ad from 70s or 80s

[HappinessDragon]

Ever have a jingle stuck in your head and you're sure it was an old ad but you can't remember what for? I'm hoping someone here can help me as it's driving me potty.

I have one:

"I'm late I'm late
For a very important date
No time to say hello goodbye
I'm late I'm late I'm late"

Have a vague memory of commuters/men in suits and power dressed women rushing about like headless chickens.
What was that ad??? It could be from the 70s but I think the 80s is more likely. Any idea?

the advert i remember from the 80's has got to be the classic slogan this is the age of the train by the inimatable jimmy saville or perhasps the electric power advert with wonderful classical music of whom i do not know who was the composer.
