Chorus
You’ve got to wake up, you’ve got to wake up
You’ve got to wake up and change your step
You’ve got to shake up, you’ve got to shake up
You’ve got to shake up and get some pep
Take your habits and adjust ’em
To the very latest custom
Get out of the rut, out of the rut
Or you’ll be deader than old King Tut
You’ve got to keep up, you’ve got to keep up
You’ve got to keep up a snappy pace
They’re goin’ to creep up, they’re goin’ to creep up
They’re goin’ to creep up and take your place
Don’t wait too late or you’ll be losing your rep
You’ve got to speed up and shake your feet up
Come on and change your step
