why don’t you wake me shake me
don’t let me sleep too late
gotta get up in the morning
about a quarter to eight
don’t you know i’m bound
i’m bound to my job
my boss
my boss is a big fat slob
can’t even be a minute late
or the boss will blow his gate
why don’t you wake me shake me
don’t let me sleep too late
gotta get up in the morning
about a quarter to eight
don’t you know i’m bound
i’m bound to my garbage truck
i got a lot
got a lot of cans to pick up
can’t even be a minute late
or the boss will blow his gate
why don’t you wake me shake me
gotta get up in the morning time
about a quarter to eight
i had a dream i had a dream
i said i looked over yonder
what did i see
i said two big garbage trucks
i said are coming after me
picking up cans i said side by side
why don’t you swing down sweet garbage truck
and let your buddy ride
why don’t you wake me shake me
don’t let me sleep too late
gotta get up in the morning
about a quarter to eight
don’t you know i’m bound
i’m bound to my job
my boss
my boss is a big fat slob
can’t even be a minute late
or the boss will blow his gate
why don’t you wake me shake me
gotta get up in the morning time
about a quarter to eight
why don’t you wake me shake me
gotta get up in the morning time
about a quarter to eight
why don’t you wake me shake me
