|
She woke me up with a bang, bang |
|
Looking' over cross eyed had a big |
|
Hunch that the world was a big lie |
|
When I got up all the blood to my head |
|
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed |
|
I went over to the way side looking for the high tide |
|
What will I find, will I find, will I find, find |
|
All I saw was a man that had a hat |
|
That had a pom-pom he's been there for years |
|
Can someone tell me how long |
|
Wake up to tell me |
|
Wake up to show me |
|
What I could not find |
|
Wake up to tell me |
|
Wake up to show me |
|
What I could not |
|
You see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three |
|
And I didn't know it then but she put a spell on me |
|
Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea |
|
And meet an old man to present my |
|
So I headed way down to the big pier |
|
To await and confront my big fear |
|
I wheeled around behind to my blindside to find an old man |
|
With a lime and a kind eye said |
|
"Mister, mister with your beard so long |
|
won't you be a saint and tell me just where I'm going" |
|
He pointed to a conk shell and then |
|
To the lime and said this is all I really need to get by |
|
Wake up to tell me |
|
Wake up to show me |
|
What I could not find |
|
Wake up to tell me |
|
Wake up to show me |
|
What I could not |
|
I said, "Hey, hey mister man |
|
I know you don't know who you think I, think I am" |
|
But I can safely say that I should have been sleeping |
|
Been sleeping, been sleeping |
|
Been sleeping the day away |
|
I said, "'Xcuse me, you got the time |
|
He shrugged his shoulders |
|
Said, "Get a spine," coconut hit me on the head |
|
Jonesin' for a fig |
|
I booked last night I need another fix, Dig |
|
Just then I see a twinkle, twinkle in the old man's eye |
|
And a wave tossed bottle is thrown to the sky |
|
I caught it on the rebound it landed with a soft sound |
|
I took out the message and put the bottle down |
|
Inside was the antidote to the spell |
|
And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well |
|
Said, "Don't worry about a thing you know you path is true" |
|
Just ease your mind have a banana or two |
|
Well goodness, goodness, woe is me |
|
The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free |
|
But just before we left and started kicking it |
|
I picked up the bottle and stop sixed it |
|
Kick kick, shuffle shuffle back to the beach |
|
With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach |
|
If that woman comes to you with her song so sweet |
|
Say damn let the poor sucker sleep |
|
Wake up to tell me |
|
Wake up to show me |
|
What I could not find |
|
Wake up to tell me |
|
Wake up to show me |
|
What I could not find |
