Lyrics

Phone keeps ringin' right off the hook
Some bill collecter I know I cussed
I think I'll stay in bed and dream all day
The world outside bugs me anyway
When I get things going the going gets rough
So I ask myself why get up?

Why get up? why get up?
How can I get up?
Why should I get up?
This whole worlds gone crazy, think I've seen enough
I'm gonna sleep forever - why get up?

I went to the doctor he said loose some weight
And if you don't do it quick we got to amputate
I talked to my lawyer he said case is closed
That woman got it all even the garden hose
I'm starin' at the ceiling thinking just my luck
I think I'll roll back on over - why get up ?

Why get up? why get up?
How can I get up?
Why should I get up?
This whole worlds gone crazy, think I've seen enough
I'm gonna sleep forever - why get up?

Well I can't quit tickin' - I'm nervous all the time
When I wake up these nights, it's turnin' round in my mind
What was it I said to that girl last night
She really got upset I better stay out of sight
I remember the gun and someone calling my bluff
I better duck undercover - why get up ?

Why get up, why get up
How can I get up
Why should I get up
This whole worlds gone crazy think I've seen enough
Think I'll roll back on over why get up
