VERSE 01: The other day I chanced to meet a soldier friend of mine,/He’d been in camp for sev’ral weeks and he was looking fine;/His muscles had developed and his cheeks were rosy red,/I asked him how he liked the life, and this is what he said: CHORUS 01: “Oh! How I hate to get up in the morning,/Oh! How I’d love to remain in bed;/For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call;/You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up this morning!/Someday I’m going to murder the bugler,/Someday they’re going to find him dead;/I’ll amputate his reveille, and step upon it heavily,/And spend the rest of my life in bed. VERSE 02: A bugler in the army is the luckiest of men,/He wakes the boys at five and then goes back to bed again;/He doesn’t have to blow again until the afternoon,/If ev’rything goes well with me I’ll be a bugler soon. CHORUS 02: “Oh! How I hate to get up in the morning,/Oh! How I’d love to remain in bed;/For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call;/You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up this morning!/Oh! Boy the minute the battle is over,/Oh! Boy the minute the foe is dead;/I’ll put my uniform away and move to Philadelphia,/And spend the rest of my life in bed. | |
