Ring the Bell |
Verse: I woke up late this morning, the future had no charm, |
I noticed my alarm clock wasn’t wownd |
The door bell and the phone were disconnected |
And people I expected weren’t around. |
So I said to myself: «There's a reason — a song doesn’t sing by itself. |
A bell doesn’t ring by itself.» |
It’s a glorious sound, people gather around |
And start to cheer and the cheers start to swell, |
Don’t hide your head in a trough! |
Just get up and «haul off» and RING THE BELL! |
Dreams that dwell in the back of your eyes: they’ll materialize |
If you get up and get out of your shell! |
You can’t depend upon fate — or your height — or your weight |
To RING THE BELL! |
There’s a grind stone for your nose, |
There’s a tree top for your toes! |
Don’t stay home and decompose, |
Just get out and get going -- where a Go-Getter goes! |
Who can tell — if you’ve missed a few meals? |
If you’re down at the heels, Put on a «well-to-do» look. |
— You'll do well! |
When it’s a crime to get up, That’s the time to get up and RING THE BELL! |
And it’s like I always say: «Don't do anything half way» |
There’s a time for work and play. |
Don’t put off til tomorrow what you can do today! |
When it’s time to get up, That’s the time to get up! |
RING THE BELL! |
Why it’s simply absurd how much a wide awake look can compel, |
When it’s a crime to to get up, that’s the time to get up, |
When it’s a crime to get up, That’s the time to get up and RING THE BELL! |
