Why get up, why get up How can I get up, why should I get up This whole world's gone crazy Think I've seen enough I'm gonna sleep forever why get up Phone keeps ringing right off the hook Some bill collector, I know what cooks Think I'll stay in bed, dream all day World outside bugs me anyway When I get things going, the going gets rough So I ask myself why get up Chorus Went to the doctor, he said lose some weight If you don't do it quick, we'll have to operate I talked to my lawyer, he said case is closed That woman got it all even the garden hose Staring at the ceiling thinking just my luck Better roll back over why get up Chorus Well I can't quit drinking, I'm nervous all the time When I wake up, it's like a ton lead on my mind What was it, I said to that girl last night She really got upset, I best stay out of sight I remember a gun and calling somebody's bluff I better duck under the cover why get up Chorus Chorus
