D             A             D            A
Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
C          G                  C              Bm
Stuff vitamin pills down, your health guaranteed
D           A         D           A
A kiss and cuddle with the lucky girl
C        G              C                 Bm
You get fed and watered, makes your hair curl

Chorus:
Am            E          C               G
And when the day draws in, you put on a record
C                 G
Put on something gentle,
C    G            Am      G    F  D G
and wait for the cows to come home...

"Wake up," a little voice says to you eagerly
You mustn't let yourself sink financially
Don't listen to the accusation that you're tight
You could be the first man on your street to get it right

Chorus:
And when the day draws in
You go into waltz time
Where once it was good time
And wait for the cows to come home, all your life

Wake up in purpose and polite efficiency
So you get fed and watered with good company

Chorus:
And when the day draws in
You go into waltz time
Where once it was good time
And wait for the cows to come home, all your life
