Get up jimmy newman the moming is come

The engines are rumbling

The coffees all brewed

Get up jimmy newman

There's work to be done



And why do you lie shore still sleeping

There's waiting line fomming

To use the latnne

And the sun is just opening the skys

The breakfast their serving

And you've only to opon your eyes



Get up jummy newman my radios on

The news is all bad

But it's good for a laugh

The tent flap is loose

And the peg must be gone

You lie there still sleeping



Get up jimmy newman

They won't take my word

I said you sleep hard

But there shaking their heads

Get up jimmy newman

And show them you heard

Ah jimmy just show them your sleeping

A joke is a joke but there's nothing to gain

I might slap you but i'm

To weak to nse

Get up dam it jimmy

Your missing the plane

And you've only to open your eyes

And you've only to open your eyes

Oh my god jimmy

Open your eyes
