Song Lyrics

wake up and shake myself out of bed again
shaking the day down in my head and then
it`s up and out, rise and shine, on the double
no time to slack, attack, and tackle the trouble
shake myself out of bed again
no time to stop and assess, can`t let it grind to a halt
can`t stop and look at the mess and then find out it`s my fault
I can`t stop for a single minute
I know hell, well, I`m living in it
no time to stop at all, I`ve got to jump through the hoops
my job, well, it`s a nine to five nightmare
I`m serving whiskey, stale wit, and beer
come on in, how`ve you been? Have I met ya?
what`ll it be now, what can I get ya?
my job, well it`s a nightmare
and every day from nine to five I`m there
no time to stop and assess, can`t let it grind to a halt
can`t stop and look at the mess and then find out it`s my fault
I can`t stop for a single minute
I know hell, well, I`m living in it
no time to stop at all, I`ve got to jump through the hoops
roll over, sit up and beg
well I`d much rather lie down and play dead
here comes another hoop
holidays have got to be the worst
I`ve seen so many I`ve got it well rehearsed
joy to the world, hark the hey, let me hear it
deck the halls, trim the tree, that`s the spirit
holidays are not for me, chop down the tree
they`ve got to be the worst
I`m old and set in my ways, no stopping now, it`s a shame
but in my much younger days I`d stop and I`d take the blame
I`m alright if I don`t know and can`t see
I`ll live in hell, till the day, that they plant me
no time to stop at all, I`ve got to jump through the hoops
roll over, sit up and beg
well I`d much rather(3x)...lie down and play dead
all over so long my friend
so long all over the end
