Lyrics

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

And you crawl out of bed and you crawl out of bed

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

And you look out the moon where the window is and the stars shine

And the stars shine and the stars shine

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

And way down below in the sunbelt and the telephones

And the telephones and the telephones

And you look out the moon where the window is

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

And some of us breathe in the brown ground where the worms clown

Where the worms clown where the worms clown

Way down below in the sunbelt

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

And every night when you lay down you fall flat

You fall flat you fall flat

Some of us breathe in the brown ground

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

So we're all asleep in the same dream

In the snort fort in the snort fort in the snort fort

And every night when you lay down

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

Santa Claus modified snow peas on the sunroofs

On the sunroofs on the sunroofs

So we're all asleep in the same dream

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

If you look in the mirror it's your father's face

And a thin grin and a thin grin and a thin grin

And Santa Claus pulling up snow peas

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

There's tears in the bank and a credit card

In the backyard in the backyard in the backyard

If you look in the mirror it's your father's face

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

And once in a while when the wind blows

And the heart whines and the heart whines and the heart whines

There's tears in the bank and a credit card

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

But there's lint in the pocket and a breath mint

Or a car key or a car key or a car key

Once in a while when the wind blows

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

And your kid has a face like a walnut

From the ice cream from the ice cream from the ice cream

But there's lint in the pocket and a breath mint

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed

Every day in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed
