He wakes up in the early, early morning He takes his first elixir It makes his brain speed up And he works all day 'til he's done And then the whistle blows And he wakes in a bad mood So he takes his next elixir And now he smiles and he cheers And he feels real happy Wants to dance the night away And then he wakes up and he looks in the mirror And he says "This has got outta hand I look like I'm 50 years old and rather feel like I'm hit by a truck" And he swears he's gotta kick the elixirs Still he has to get through the day And so he smiles and he swears and he gulps the next bottle Wants to dance the night away He wakes up in the early, early morning He takes his first elixir It makes his brain speed up And he works all day 'til he's done And then the whistle blows And he wakes in a bad mood So he takes his next elixir And now he smiles and he cheers And he feels real happy Wants to dance the night away
