Lyrics

(alarm clock rings)
(Git up, git up Grandpa. Don't you know it's daylight savings time?)
(Yeah, I know it, I don't know who in the world ever got it,)
(But it don't do nobody a bit of good!)
For years and years folks got along with an old grandfather's clock
Or just a common old sun dial sittin' out on a rock
Then the dollar watch, its had its day and the wrist watch it was fine
Then along came a man that ruined us all with Daylight Savin' Time
I'm a-huntin' that man who first thought up Daylight Savin' Time
Until he moved the clocks around everything was a-goin' fine
But I guess he's hid and won't come out, he knows he was out of line
I get up late, have to wait, can't keep it straight, who did he hate
I mean the man that first thought up
Daylight Savin' Time
His followers always argue that they've gained an hour of light
By moving all the clocks around but I can't see they're right
The sun still rises just the same and it sets just as before
If they'd rise 60 minutes early, maybe they'd have an hour more
So why not leave the clocks alone so folks won't be confused
Let 'em hit the floor an hour before if it's daylight that they choose
I'm a-huntin' that man who first thought up Daylight Savin' Time
If he will prove why the clocks will move then I'll admit it's fine
I've twisted my old clock around 'til it ain't worth a dime
I'm a-countin' sheep, losing sleep, get up late, miss my date
Couldn't get there in a Cadillac 8
Try as they will, they'll never gain
With Daylight Savin' Time
