Wake up and shake myself out of bed again

Shaking the day down in my head again

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 you?

What'll it be now, what can I get you?



My job, well it's a nightmare

And every day from ine 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 ehar it

Deick the halls, trim the treet, 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, sti up and beg

Well I'd much rather...lie down and play dead

All over, so long my friend

So long, all over, the end
