she woke me up with a bang, bang

looking over cross eyed had a big

hunch that the world was a big lie

when I got up all the blood to my head

I got so dizzy fell back to my bed

I went over to the way side

looking for the high tide

what will I find will I find will I find

all I saw was a man that had a hat

that had a porn-porn he's been there for

years can someone tell me how long



[CHORUS:]

wake up to tell me

wake up to show me

what I could not find



you see this woman woke me up

at a quarter to three and I didn't

know it then but she put a spell on

me said I had to go down to where

the cliffs mee the sea and mean an

old man to present my plea

so I headed way down to the big pier

to await and confront my big fear

I wheeled around behind to my

blindside to find and old man with a

lime and a kind eye

mister, mister withyour beard so long

won't you be a saint and tell me

just where I'm going

he pointed to a conk shell and then

to the lime and said this is all

I really need to get by



[CHORUS]



hey mister man

I know you don't know

who you think I am

but I can safely say, that I

should've been sleeping the day

away I said scuse me, if you've got the

time he shrugged his shoulders

said get a spine

coconut hit me on the head

jonesin' for a fig

I booked last night

I need another fix

just then I see a twinkle twinkle

in the old man's eye and a wave

tossed bottle in thrown to the sky



I caught it on the rebound

it landed with a soft sound

I took out the message and put the

bottle down

inside was the antidote to the spell

I read it to the old man 'cause he

couldn't read so well

said don't worry about a

thing you know your

path is true just ease your

mind have a banana

or two



Goodness, goodness, woe is me

the man nearly flipped to learn

that he was free but just before we

left and started kicking it

I picked up the bottle and star sixed it



if that woman comese to you with

her song so sweet, say damn

let the poor sucker sleep
