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?
