Wake Me, Shake Me - The Coasters

Why don’t you wake me

(Yeah) shake me (yeah)

Don’t let me sleep too late, no Gotta get up in the morning

About a quarter to eight

(Don't you know I’m bound)

I’m bound to my job (my boss)

My boss is a big, fat slob

Can’t even be a minute late

Or the boss will blow his gate

(Why don’t you) wake me

(Yeah) shake me (yeah)

Don’t let me sleep too late

Oh, gotta get up in a minute

About a quarter to eight

(Don't you know I’m bound)

I’m bound to my garbage truck

(I got a lot) got a lot

Of cans to pick up Can’t even be a minute late

Or the boss will blow his gate

(Why don’t you)

Wake me, shake me Gotta get up in the morning time

About a quarter to eight

I had a dream (had a dream)

I had a dream (had a dream)

I said I looked over yonder

What did I see

I said two big garbage trucks

I said coming after me Picking up trash

I said side by side

Why don’t you swing down

Sweet garbage truck and

Let your buddy ride

Wake me (yeah) shake me (yeah)

Don’t let me sleep too late, no Gotta get up in the morning

About a quarter to eight

(Don't you know I’m bound)

I’m bound to my job (my boss)

My boss is a big, fat slob

Can’t even be a minute late

Or the boss will blow his gate

(Why don’t you)

Wake me, shake me Gotta get up in the morning time

About a quarter to eight

(Why don’t you)

Wake me, shake me Gotta get up in the morning time

About a quarter to eight…
