Wake up you silly
Shake your sleepy head
Your father’s brewing coffee
Now pull yourself out of bed
You are not an orphan.
You are not a bedraggled street urchin.
It’s a strange operation
but you’ll see it through
The hangman
is waiting at your door
You push him aside
you won’t listen anymore
You are not an orphan.
You are not a bedraggled street urchin.
It’s a strange operation
but you’ll take the time to see it through
Shake your sleepy head
Your father’s brewing coffee
Now pull yourself out of bed
You are not a bedraggled street urchin.
It’s a strange operation
but you’ll see it through
is waiting at your door
You push him aside
you won’t listen anymore
You are not a bedraggled street urchin.
It’s a strange operation
but you’ll take the time to see it through
