Lyrics

WAKE ME UP WHEN IT’S OVER
©Ruby Bird & Billy Carl Mancini, Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

Running to a subway line, got to get to work on time
Tonight another meeting, and it's sure to get the best of me
See her when I brush my teeth
Off to work and maybe we can get together later
And then maybe find some time to sleep

Wake me up when it's over, I'll be around here
Hope I'm still gonna know her, I'll be around here

Carburetor's clogged again, gotta have it in by ten
Lunch with an important personality, so called, they say
Dishes they are piling high, nothing clean to wear in sight
At least we've got no time to fight, so everything must be ok

Chorus
Do 'n do do...do 'n do do do do (repeat)

Music dancing in my head, lazy afternoon in bed
Whipped cream in my coffee, then a walk through fallen leaves of gold
Stop your dreaming now let's go, that was oh so long ago
I've been told the way is up, and time is tight and we're getting old

Chorus +
Round here, round here, I'll be around here....
Do 'n do do...do 'n do do do do
