Gotta get up gotta get out gotta get home before the morning comes

What if I'm late gotta big date gotta get home before the sun comes up

Up and away got big day sorry can't stay I gotta run run yeah

Gotta get home pick up the phone I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late

There was a time when we could dance until a quarter to ten

We never thought it would end then we never thought it would end

We used to carry on and drink and do the rock and roll

We never thought we'd get older

We never thought it'd grow cold but now

Gotta get up gotta get out gotta get home before the morning comes

What if I'm late gotta big date gotta get home before the sun comes up

Up and away got big day sorry can't stay I gotta run run yeah

Gotta get home pick up the phone I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late

Down by the sea she knew a sailor who had been to war

She never even knew a sailor before she never even knew his name

He'd come to town and he would pound her for a couple of days

And then he'd sail across the bubbly waves and those were happier days But now

Gotta get up gotta get out gotta get home before the mooorning comes

What if I'm late gotta big date gotta get home before the sun comes up

Up and away got big day sorry can't stay I gotta run run yeah

Gotta get home pick up the phone I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late
