Wake up, got another day to get through now
Got another man to see, gotta call him on the telephone
Hey yo, gotta find a piece of [A] paper, [B] sit down
Got another letter to write, think hard, gotta get a letter just right
It'll ring another telephone, oh no, gotta write a letter [G] later
[D] No such thing as too long, we're [E] only one, two, [B] three, go!

If I tell you what I'm doing today, will you surely make it out of my way?
Someone ask me what the time is, I don't know, only know I gotta go now

It'll ring another telephone, oh no, it'll ring in my head [G] now
