[Verse 1]
I don't like to wake up,
'Til the sun is high.
And if you try to stir me,
This will I reply:
Give me ten more minutes;
Let me stay in bed.
Like Rip Vanwinkle I'll wake up,
And maybe you'll be dead.
[Chorus]
Get outta my face,
You old disgrace.
I've got some news.
I paid my dues.
Why can't you see,
What you've done to me?
Now I need to snore,
Three hours more.
[Verse 2]
Please, do not di-sturb me.
Won't you go away?
And leave me with this shade tree.
Come a-no-ther day.
I can't stand the sun light.
Sun-shine hurts my eyes.
Why, it's still prac-tic-ly midnight.
It ain't time to rise.
[Chorus]
Get outta my face,
You old disgrace.
I've got some news.
I paid my dues.
Why can't you see,
What you've done to me?
Now I need to snore,
Six hours more.
[Verse 3]
It's not nice to poke me,
While I'm sound asleep.
It's too got damned early,
For that blasted beep.
If I hear just one time,
"Get back to the plow,"
I just might have to forget I'm
Due for work right now.
[Chorus]
Get outta my face,
You old disgrace.
I've got some news.
I paid my dues.
Why can't you see,
What you've done to me?
Now I need to snore,
Nine hours more.
[Verse 4]
If you keep on prodding,
I will block you out.
And when my noggin's nodding.
Don't laugh, yell or shout.
Can't you see I'm tired?
I need rest right now.
Well, I don't care if I'm fired.
I'll get by somehow.
[Chorus]
Get outta my face,
You old disgrace.
I've got some news.
I paid my dues.
Why can't you see,
What you've done to me?
Now I need to snore,
Twelve hours more.
