Wake up and Live - Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, Cab Calloway & His Orchestra

You’ll find

It’s mind over matter

Dark clouds will break up

If you wake up and live

It’s what is

(scat)

Wake up and live

Show the stuff you’re made of

Just follow through

What are you affraid of

You’ll try it won’t ya

Say won’t ya wake up an live

Come out your shell, hey fella

Find your place in the sun

Come out your shell, say man

Just be a go getter

Send em on up

(scat)

Won’t ya wake up and live

If lady luck is yawnin'

Up on your toes

A better day is dawning

Don’t let em

Get up and give

Get, get yourself a shakeup

And wake up and live
