you could hear sweet Matilda say
You won't be up by the crack of noon,
let alone the break of day
Bobby, you'd better wake up
If you want our love to last
You're putting the brakes
Because you live your life too fast
And you party all around the clock
Once you get yourself wound up
Well, you don't know when to stop
The rooster crows at daybreak
after you crow all through the night
I'm gonna throw you out of the hen house
if you don't start actin' right
How you expect to wake up
when you never go to sleep
Your monkey mind is workin' overtime
with the company you keep
If you want to keep a jock,
you better show up on time
And heed what the boss man said
But how you expect to wake up
when you never go to bed?
Bobby, you better wake up
You could hear sweet Matilda say
They're takin' in applications
Out in the oil field today
and that old saying is true
But you ain't caught one single worm
since the day that I met you
How you expect to wake up
when you never go to sleep
Your monkey mind is working overtime
with the company you keep
If you want to keep a job,
you better show up on time
and heed what the boss man said.
But how you spent to wake up
when you never go to bed?
when you never go to bed?
