When I was young and short of tongue A silly (we)fool was I The morning after I left the school I heard my mom sigh Get up, get out, you lazy lout Get into your working clothes Up to your knees in oil and grease With the grime stone to your nose I bought a clock, a bunny (we)clock To help me tell the time It waken me every morning With a very poetic line Get up, get out, you lazy lout Get into your working clothes Up to your knees in oil and grease With the grime stone to your nose I married a lass, a bunny (we)lass And kept her many a-year. Come what may, she began every day By whispering in my ear Get up, get out, you lazy lout Get into your working clothes Up to your knees in oil and grease With the grime stone to your nose Some can lie as long as they like They're luckier man than me I never get to lie very long I'm only 5 foot 3 Get up, get out, you lazy lout Get into your working clothes Up to your knees in oil and grease With the grime stone to your nose I'll look for work tomorrow If you just let me sleep today
