Gotta Get up Songtext

von Harry Nilsson

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

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

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

Down by the sea she knew a sailor who had been to war
She never even knew a sailor before
She didn't even knew his name
He?d come to town and he would pound it for a couple of days
And then he?d sail across the bubbly ways
And those were happier days

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