Gotta Get Up

(album: Nilsson Schmilsson - 1971)

Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comes.
What if I'm late, gotta big day, gotta get home before the sun comes up
Up and away, got big day, sorry can't stay, I gotta run run yeah
gotta get home, pick up the phone, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late

There was a time when we could dance until the quarter till ten,
we never thought it would end then, we ever thought it would end,
We used to carry on a drink and do the rock and roll, we never thought we'd get older,
we never thought it'd grow cold, but now

Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comes.
What if I'm late, gotta big day, gotta get home before the sun comes up
Up and away, got big day, sorry can't stay, I gotta run run yeah
gotta get home, pick up the phone, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late

Down by the sea she knew a seller who had been to war,
she never even knew a seller before, she never even knew his name
He'd come to town and you would pound him for a couple of days,
nd then he said across the bubbly waves and hose were happier days, But now

Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comes.
What if I'm late, gotta big day,gotta get home before the sun comes up
Up and away, got big day sorry can't stay I gotta run run yeah
gotta get home pick up the phone, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late
