Wake up and live; don't mind the rainy patter And you will find it's mind over matter Dark clouds will break up If you will wake up and live Wake up and live; show the stock you're made of Just follow through; what are you afraid of? Why don't you wake up and live? Why don't you wake up and live? Come out of your shell, hey fella Find your place in the sun Come out of your shell, say, fella Just be a go-gettin' son of a gun Wake up and live; it may be love is yawning Up on your toes; a better day is dawning Don't let up; get up and give Give yourself a shakeup just to wake up and live Come out of your shell, hey, fella Find your place in the sun Come out of your shell, say, fella Just be a go-gettin' son of a gun Wake up and live; it may be love is yawning Up on your toes; a better day is dawning Don't let up; get up and give If Lady Love is yawning And a better day is dawning Won't you get up, mister? Wake up and live
