"Why Get Up?"

Phone keeps ringin' right off the hook.
Some bill collecter I know I cussed.
I think I'll stay in bed and dream all day.
The world outside bugs me anyway.
When I get things going the going gets rough,
so I ask myself why get up?

Why get up? Why get up?
How can I get up?
why should I get up?
This whole worlds gone crazy, Think I've seen enough.
I'm gonna sleep forever - why get up?

I went to the doctor He said loose some weight.
And if you don't do it quick we got to amputate.
I talked to my lawyer he said case is closed
That woman got it all even the garden hose.
I'm starin' at the ceiling thinking just my luck
I think I'll roll back on over - why get up ?

Why get up? Why get up?
How can I get up?
why should I get up?
This whole worlds gone crazy, Think I've seen enough.
I'm gonna sleep forever - why get up?

Well I can't quit tickin' - I'm nervous all the time
when I wake up these nights, it's turnin' round in my mind
what was it I said to that girl last night
She really got upset I better stay out of sight
I remember the gun and someone calling my bluff
I better duck undercover - why get up ?

Why get up, why get up
how can I get up
Why should I get up
this whole worlds gone crazy think I've seen enough
Think I'll roll back on over why get up.
