Why Get Up Songtext
von Don Williams

Why get up?
Why get up?
How can I get up?
Why should I get up?
This whole world′s gone crazy, think I've seen enough
I′m gonna sleep forever
Why get up?

Phone keeps ringing right off the hook
Some bill collector, I know what cooks
Think I'll stay in bed and dream all day
The world outside bugs me anyway
When I get things going, the going gets rough
So I ask myself, "Why get up?"


Why get up?
Why get up?
How can I get up?
Why should I get up?
This whole world's gone crazy, think I′ve seen enough
I′m gonna sleep forever
Why get up?

Went to the doctor, he said lose some weight
If you don't do it quick, we′ll have to operate
I talked to my lawyer, he said the case is closed
That woman got it all, even the garden hoes
Staring at the ceiling, thinking just my luck
I'm gonna roll back over, why get up?

Yeah, I can′t quit thinking, I'm nervous all the time
I wake up this last week, ton a lead on my mind
What was it I said to that girl last night?
She really got upset, I best stay out of sight
I remember someone calling somebody′s bluff
I better duck undercover, why get up?

Why get up?
Why get up?
How can I get up?
Why should I get up?
This whole world's gone crazy, think I've seen enough
I′m gonna sleep forever
Why get up?


I′m gonna sleep forever
Why get up?
