Lyrics
Wake up and live, don't mind the rainy patter
And you will find it's mind over matter
Dark clouds will break up
If you will wake up and live
Wake up and live, show the stock you're made of
Just follow through, what are you afraid of?
You'll try it, won't ya?
Why don't you wake up and live?
Come out of your shell, hey, fella
Find your place in the sun
Come out of your shell, say, fella
Just be a go-gettin' son of a gun
Wake up and live, if Lady Luck is yawning
Up on your toes, a better day is dawning
Don't let up, get up and give
Give yourself a shake-up just to wake up and live
Come out of your shell, hey, feller
Find your place in the sun
Come out of your shell, say, feller
Just be a go-gettin' son of a gun, oh
Wake up and live, if Lady Luck is yawning
Up on your toes, a better day is dawning
Don't let up, get up and give
If Lady Luck is yawning and a better day is dawning
Won't you get up, mister? Wake up and live
