Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home
Before the morning comes
What if I'm late, gotta big day
Gotta get home before the sun comes up
Up and away, got big day
Sorry can't stay I gotta run run yeah
Gotta get home, pick up the phone
Gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late
There was a time when we could dance
Until the quarter till ten
We never thought it would end then
We ever thought it would end
We used to carry on a drink and do the rock and roll
We never thought we'd get older
We never thought it'd grow cold, but now
Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home
Before the morning comes
What if I'm late, gotta big day
Gotta get home before the sun comes up
Up and away, got big day
Sorry can't stay I gotta run run yeah
Gotta get home, pick up the phone
Gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late
Down by the sea she knew
A seller who had been to war
She never even knew a seller before
She never even knew his name
He'd come to town and you would
Pound him for a couple of days
And then he said across the bubbly waves
And those were happier days, but now
Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home
Before the morning comes
What if I'm late, gotta big day
Gotta get home before the sun comes up
Up and away, got big day
Sorry can't stay I gotta run run yeah
Gotta get home, pick up the phone
Gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late
