Wake Up Song

Gotta wake up, gotta get out of bed
Gotta wake up, got to clear my head
Turn off that alarm, I hit the snooze three times
Turn off that alarm, before I lose my mind

Trip on all my clothes, I find the bathroom door
Trip on all my clothes, all over the floor
Mirror plays tricks, my face is all puffed out
Mirror plays tricks, my eyes are so bloodshot (Ahhh!)

It wouldn’t be so bad if I could wake up
It wouldn’t be so bad if I could see
It wouldn’t be so bad if my job didn’t take up
The time I normally would be asleep

Turn the water on, it hits me in the face
Turn the water on, pick up the pace
Find some clothes to wear, where did I put my keys
Find some clothes to wear, before I freeze

Pop the toast in, turn the kettle on
Pop the toast in, toast takes too long
Gotta go to work, I wanna be in bed
Gotta go to work, got to clear my head

It wouldn’t be so bad if I could wake up
It wouldn’t be so bad if I could see
It wouldn’t be so bad if my job didn’t take up
The time I normally would be asleep

Call me irresponsible, most times I’m not
I can’t always be wonderful, but I try a lot
I got home late last night, couldn’t get to sleep
I got into a real big fight, that I had with my sheep
And I couldn’t get to sleep

It wouldn’t be so bad if I could wake up
It wouldn’t be so bad if I could see
It wouldn’t be so bad if my job didn’t take up
The time I normally would be asleep
The time I normally would be asleep
The time I normally would be asleep
