As recorded by JACK PAYNE & HIS BAND:

Good morning, good morning
Another new day is dawning
It's time to stop this yawning
There's a lot of new things that have gotta be done

I've less than an hour
For a shoeshine, shave and a shower
I'm doing all in my power
To get a face in the red hot sun

Exactly eight o'clock
Say, where's my other sock
I've got a job, so help me, Bob
I've gotta get up and go to work

Must be there on the dot
I hope you made my coffee hot
Bring on those eggs, those scrambled eggs
I've gotta get up and go to work

I'll do my best to make some dough
So I can come home and say
We're out of debt, it's really so
You'll never regret our wedding day

If I could stay right in my bed
But I must get up instead
One kiss and then, like all good men
I've gotta get up and go to work
