[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Well I
woke up so [D]early this [G]morn[D]ing,
the [G]alarm ringing [D]right in my [G]head,
it's not that
like complainin'
[D]I jus[G]t wish

[Verse 2]
that I could go
back to bein'

[Verse 3]
[G]Sleepin' is my [D]favorite
occupa[G]tion[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Sandman, [D]he's my best [G]friend
[D]But if he

[Verse 5]
[G]takes me [D]away for [G]one more dream
[D]I'll be

[Verse 6]
[G]late for [D]school [G]again

[Verse 7]
Cause I've got that [C]early
morning wake up

[Verse 8]
Get [C]dressed, breakfast time,
brush my [G]teeth
Catch that school bus thing
And if I [D]don't start movin' more quickly
I'll [C]be too late
To hear that school bell [G]ring
Ding -a -ling, ding -a -ling
[D]I'll be lat[Eb]e aga[D]in
Well, my [G]little boy's lyin' so [D]sweetly
He [G]sleeps in the bed next door
Because he's in kindergarten,
that boy can sleep for [D]two [G]hours more.
Eat your heart out.
My big sis, she's [D]locked
in the bath[G]room.
How she can live in that place,
I just don't get.
Aw, hold your [D]horses.
[G]Spending hours playing
with makeup and perfume.
And I just need to get [D]a little bit [G]wet.
[D]Chill
As [Bb]I got that ea[C]rly morning wake up,
get dressed, breakfast,
time brush my teeth[G],
catch that school bus, bang.
And if I [D]don't start moving more quickly,
I'll [C]be too late to hear
that school bell [G]ring,
ding -a -ling, ding -a -ling.
[D]I'll be late [Eb]again.[D]
I [C]try to get up before sunrise.
The [G]early bird catches the worm
With [A]all my trying
I'm still the most tardy kid
[D]In that [Eb]school this [D]time
[G]I'm [D]running, running, running
To [G]the bus stop
[D]The [G]bus is pulling right away
Well I'm screaming and [D]I'm yelling
At my [G]friend the bus driver
[D]I'm beg[G]ging her[D] to sta[G]y
[D]The [G]bus is slowin' down
an[D]d I[G]'m stoppin'
The bus driver [D]says, fly [G]right on in
[D]Well, [G]I made it on tim[D]e for one[G] more day
[D]Don[G]'t wanna cut it that close again
[D]Cause [Bb]I've got that [C]early
morning wake up
Get dressed, breakfast time,
brush my teeth
[G]Catch that school bus fast
And if I [D]don't start movin' more quickly
I'll [C]be too late to hear
that school bell [G]ring
Ding -a -ling, ding -a -ling
[D]But I'm not late [Eb]again, I've [D]made it
[G]Oh, [D]I was s[G]o sleepy
[D]Oh, [G]oh,[D] oh[G]
[D][G]
There you are, Rita,
sleeping again
on the back of the bus.
You've slept right through first period.
You just marched yourself
to the principal's office,
young lady.
I can't believe that girl.
She sleeps more than
anyone I've ever known.
[G]If I handed out a grade for[G] sleeping,
she'd get an A.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
