Off with the blanket, down with the window, on with the day
You've got to stretch just a little, bend just a little, you'll feel okay
Sing while you're washing, sing while you're dressing
Carefree and gay
Oh, dear, start the day right
Back to the window, up with the window, down with some air
Off with the slippers, on with the shoes, and then comb your hair
Out of the bedroom, into the kitchen, breakfast is there
Oh, dear, start the day right
Though the skies be cloudy
Smiling all the world says howdy
Off with the blanket, up with the curtain, greet the new day
In with the sugar, down with the java, don't you delay
Out of the kitchen, out of the cottage
Sing on your way
Oh, dear, start the day right
On with the day
Come on now, Satch, you feel okay?
Sing while you're washing, sing while you're dressing
Get on out of that hay
What do you say we get something?


Some of that air
Come on, Rugged, comb your hair
Out of the bedroom, into the kitchen
Come and get it, breakfast is there
Though the skies be cloudy
You sure do look like rain, don't you?
Clear up directly, smile, and all the world says howdy
Off with the blanket, up with the curtain, greet the new day
In with the sugar, only two lumps, please
Don't you delay
Out of the kitchen, out of the cottage
Sing on your way
Oh, dear, start the day right
That's right
Hear what I'm telling you now
That's right
Oh, oh, oh, dear, that's the only way
You gotta start the day right
Well, roll it
Quickly
Well, roll it
