Wake Up Everybody - Jimmy Ruffin

Miscellaneous

Wake Up Everybody (part 1)

Wake Up Everybody

Harold Melvin

Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bed

No more backward thinkin time for thinkin ahead

The world has changed so very much

From what it used to be so

there is so much hatred war an' poverty

Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way

Maybe then they’ll listen to whatcha have to say

Cause they’re the ones who’s coming up and the world is in their hands

when you teach the children teach em the very best you can.

The world won’t get no better if we just let it be

The world won’t get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me.

Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well

They’re the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell

But they don’t have so very long before the Judgement Day

So won’tcha make them happy before they pass away.

Wake up all the builders time to build a new land

I know we can do it if we all lend a hand

The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind

Surely things will work out they do it every time.

Repeat Chorus.
