about

A calypso-inspired song about waking up.

lyrics

Sunshine still is yet to show
Outside dark and cold, and so
In your bed tucked up and warm
In your head your dream goes on

Like a flounder flattened out
You lie asleep; there is no doubt
You want to stay just where you are
To get up now is just too hard

Can't ignore your alarm clock
Can't you hear the rooster cock?
'Knock, knock!' Someone's at the door
Sleep, sleep, sleep: you want some more

Deeper, deeper, still asleep
Wakey, wakey, time does fleet
Hard, hard, hard, for you to get up
The brew is ready; time to fill your cup

Alarm clock, is that the time?
Alarm clock, I hear your chime
Alarm clock, is that the time?
Alarm clock, sing your chime

Feel the ryhthm start to roll
As the clock's tick takes its toll
Tick tock, side-to-side and back,
In and out and front and back

Bang, bang, bang, bang, like a drum
Slowly, slowly, here you come
Louder, louder, louder, you're now awake
Plugged in, turned on, energised, alarm clock: my mate

Alarm clock, you are so fine
Alarm clock, you are mine
Alarm clock, you are so fine
Alarm clock, you are mine

Sunshine glowing from within
Alarm clock puts you in a spin
Buzz, buzz takes you through the day
Feeling good, hip-hip-hooray
Work seems to turn into play
Till it's time to hit the hay
Your alarm clock you like that way
Your alarm clock you like that way
Your alarm clock you like that way
