Lyrics Roger Miller

Roger Miller

I Get Up Early In The Morning

When Christopher Columbus returned to Spain

The wise men asked him would you please explain

How'd you know the world was round he said I used my brain

And I get up early in the morning

Well get up and get up when the sun comes up

Don't lay there dozin' like a lazy pup

Health and wealth will overflow your cup

If you get up early in the morning

Andrew Jackson fought the British down in New Orleans

And he sent them runnin' through the turnip greens

When they wondered how he did it he said were just mean

And I get up early in the morning

They asked Casanova uh man what you got

That makes all the women think that you're so hot

He said well my little secret boys believe it or not

Is I get up early in the morning
