Gotta get up, gotta get out

Gotta get home before the morning comes

What if I'm late, gotta big date

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 a quarter to ten

we never thought it would end then

We never thought it would end We used to carry on and 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 date

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 sailor who had been to war

she never even knew a sailor before

She never even knew his name He'd come to town and he would pound her for a couple of days

and then he'd sail 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 date

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
