Wake Up And Live - Ella Fitzgerald, Chick Webb And His Orchestra

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
