GET UP (Pete Ham)
[from Keyhole Street: Demos 1966-67 CD - recorded 1967 - released U.S. 2013]

[Snoring]
(Alfie!)
Got to get up, got to get up, got to get up, got to get up - Now
Got to get up, got to get up, got to get up, got to get up - Now
You got to get up or else you will be late for work again
Got to get up 'cause if you don't, you're going to miss that train
I hear it every morning, it drives me 'round the bend
And just as I get back to sleep, I hear those words again (No)

Got to get up, got to get up, got to get up, got to get up - Now!
Got to get up, got to get up, got to get up, got to get up - Now!
You got to get up, come on now, Alf, your breakfast's getting cold
You got to get up, you must be deaf, do what you're blinking told
I hear it every morning, it drives me 'round the bend
In fact, I think I must be halfway up the straight again

Got to get up, got to get up, got to get up, got to get up (Aw) - Now
(Shut up!) [weeping]
Got to get up, got to get up, got to get up, got to get up - Now
(Alright, I heard you)

You got to get up, it serves you right for getting in so late
You got to get up, I'll tell your father, just you wait now, mate
I hear it every morning, it drives me 'round the bend
And just as I get back to sleep (Oh, no), I hear those words again

Got to get up, got to get up, got to get up, got to get up - Now!
(Hurry up, will you?)
Got to get up, got to get up, got to get up, got to get up
[whistling sound, a bomb explosion, snoring]
