Gotta Get Up - Lyrics - Harry Nilsson

Harry Edward Nilsson III , usually credited as Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s. He is known for the hit singles "Everybody's Talkin'" , "Without You" , and "Coconut" . Nilsson also wrote the song "One" made famous by the rock band Three Dog Night. He was one of the few major pop-rock recording artists of his era to achieve significant commercial success without ever performing major public concerts or undertaking regular tours.

Gotta get up, gottat get out, getta get home before the morning comes. What if I'm late, gotta big day, gotta get home beore 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, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late There was a time when we could dance until the quarter till ten, we never thought it would end then, we ever thought it would end, We used to carry on a 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 day, gotta get home beore 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, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late Down by the sea she knew a seller who had been to war, she never even knew a seller before, she never even knew his name He'd come to town and you would pound him for a coupl of days, nd then he said across the bubbly waves and hose were happier days, But now Gotta get up, gottat get out, getta get home before the mooorning comes. What if I'm late, gotta big day,gotta get home beorethe 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, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late
