Ring the Bell - Lena Horne
I got up late this morning
The future had no charm
I noticed my alarm clock wasn't wownd
The door bell and the phone were disconnected
And people I expected weren't around
So I said to myself where's the reason
Then I looked at my cellphone and said
There's the reason
A song doesn't sing by itself
A bell doesn't ring by itself
Ring the bell
It's a glorious sound people gather around
And start to cheer and the cheers start to swell
Don't hide your head in a trough
Just get up and haul off and ring the bell
Dreams that dwell in the back of your eyes
They'll materialize
If you get up and get out of your shell
You can't depend upon fate
Or your height or your weight
To ring the bell
There's a grind stone for your nose
There's a tree top for your toes
Don't stay home and decompose
Just get out and get going
Where a go-getter goes
Who can tell if you've missed a few meals
If you're down at the heels
Put on a well-to-do smile
You'll do well
When it's a crime to get up
That's the time to get up and ring the bell
And it's like I always say
Don't do anything halfway
There's a time for work and play
Don't put off til tomorrow what you could do today
Ring the bell
Be the earliest bird
Why it's simply absurd
How much a wide awake look can compel
When it's a crime to get up
That's the time to get up
You got to clime to get up
And ring and ring the bell
