[C]
I was born on a frosty morn, the first day of [G] November.
The nurse she said, what a pretty little head, but me, I [C] can't remember.
Well I started to grow and I got to know, the things I should [G] be learning.
And it wasn't very long till I sang this song, you gotta get up [C] in the morning.
Round and round and up and down, the wheel of life [G] keeps turning.
When the day was bad, I wish I had, never got [C] up in the morning.
My sister Kit, she comes in late, you know she [G] must be quiet.
She had a little booze so she takes off her shoes, she don't have [C] to deny it.
Well her mum can't sleep, she heels her crate, into the [G] bedroom yawning.
As she jumps out of bed, she shakes her head, where you going this [C] time of the morning?
Round and round and up and down, the wheel of [G] life keeps turning.
When the day was bad, I wish I, never got [C] up in the morning.
How will you, he's ninety two, you ought to see him [G] dancing.
When he sees a short skirt, he's a fair old flirt, he still does a bit of [C] romancing.
I asked him once how he was so fit, I never seen [G] him yawning.
He said, horrid punch, what's for your lunch, but you gotta get up [C] in the morning.
Round and round and up and down, the wheel of life [G] keeps turning.
When the day was bad, I wish I had, never got up [C] in the morning.

Me [G]
[C]
and my band, we travelled this land, we often [G] crossed the water.
There were shouts below, and a gulpy moan, we were caught a [C] few when on board.
So we just keep on singing our songs, the news [G] we keep learning.
And though we get on late, almost three late, we gotta [C] get up in the morning.
Round and round and up and down, the wheel of life [G] keeps turning.
When the day was bad, I wish I had, never [C] got up in the morning.
Round and round and up and down, the wheel of life [G] keeps turning.
When the day was bad, I wish I had, [Em]
never got up in the morning.
