Wake up and live; don't mind the rainy patter
And you will find it's mind over matter
Dark clouds will break up
If you will wake up and live

Wake up and live; show the stock you're made of
Just follow through; what are you afraid of?
Why don't you wake up and live?
Why don't you wake up and live?

Come out of your shell, hey fella
Find your place in the sun
Come out of your shell, say, fella
Just be a go-gettin' son of a gun

Wake up and live; it may be love is yawning
Up on your toes; a better day is dawning
Don't let up; get up and give
Give yourself a shakeup just to wake up and live

Come out of your shell, hey, fella
Find your place in the sun
Come out of your shell, say, fella
Just be a go-gettin' son of a gun

Wake up and live; it may be love is yawning
Up on your toes; a better day is dawning
Don't let up; get up and give
If Lady Love is yawning
And a better day is dawning
Won't you get up, mister? Wake up and live
