Rise + Shine

Marimba dings

Get out of bed

It’s 8am

Get out of bed

Don’t snooze the clock

Get out of bed

Get out of bed

Get out of bed

I got out of bed

Put some boxers on

I’m the walking dead

But with boxers on

Existential dread

And horrific breath

My boxers feel tight

They’re back to front

So I take them off

To rearrange

But I trip over

And hit my face

Now I’m lying naked

In extreme pain

While a line of blood

Runs down my face

I’m crying now

Tears of rage

It was 8am

I was doing great

I got out of bed

Straight away

I got out of bed

Straight away

Go to bed early

And get your 8 hours

Then jump out of bed

To unleash your power

There’s a whole world outside

It’s gonna be a-alright

There’s a whole world outside

So rise and shine

I go upstairs

to the bathroom

With a bloody face

And an arse bruise

Turn the shower on

And I can’t get the hot water to work

So I ask Luke my housemate

What he thinks I should do?

He says “Why are you bleeding?”

I say shut up Luke

So I have cold shower

It’s good for you

I got out of bed

It’s good for you

And truth be told

I feel brand new

I’m a new man

I’m Man-U

After winning the World Cup

I don’t know much about football

But I know that as I drag that towel through

My blonde hair I feel powerful

I say sorry to Luke

“I’m awful in the mornings”

He says “that’s damn true” and smiles

I’m a handful

But I grab handful of Granola

I’m happy the morning’s over

Glad to be spreading Clover

On a piece of bread

And now I chew

Drink the coffee

That I brewed

I got out of bed

And you can too

I got out of bed

And you can too

Go to bed early

And get your 8 hours

Then jump out of bed

To unleash your power

There’s a whole world outside

It’s gonna be a-alright

There’s a whole world outside

Go to bed early

And get your 8 hours

Then jump out of bed

To unleash your power

There’s a whole world outside

It’s gonna be a-alright

There’s a whole world outside

So rise and shine
