A 
Why get up, why get up 
     D                  A 
How can I get up, why should I get up 
            E 
This whole world's gone crazy 

Think I've seen enough 
            D7           A 
I'm gonna sleep forever why get up 


  A 
Phone keeps ringing right off the hook 

Some bill collector, I know what cooks 
  D 
Think I'll stay in bed, dream all day 
 A 
World outside bugs me anyway 
        E 
When I get things going, the going gets rough 
     D7          A 
So I ask myself why get up 


Chorus 

 A 
Went to the doctor, he said lose some weight 

If you don't do it quick, we'll have to operate 
   D 
I talked to my lawyer, he said case is closed 
     A 
That woman got it all even the garden hose 
  E 
Staring at the ceiling thinking just my luck 
        D7             A 
Better roll back over why get up 

Chorus 

        A 
Well I can't quit drinking, I'm nervous all the time 

When I wake up, it's like a ton lead on my mind 
      D 
What was it, I said to that girl last night 
     A 
She really got upset, I best stay out of sight 
    E 
I remember a gun and calling somebody's bluff 
          D7                   A 
I better duck under the cover why get up 

Chorus
