Chorus:
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 of 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 covers
Why get up


Chorus
Repeat chorus
