Lyrics:
I get to bed about half past three
That’s not supposed to be so good for me
Still, I wake up in the morning feeling fine
I never bother with the coffee blend
The blend all the famous doctors recommend
Still, I wake up in the morning feeling fine

It must be ‘cause you kiss me goodnight every night
Next day I rise king size with my eyes a-shine
Healthier than Hercules!

I haven’t got one of those blankets with the wires inside
I like my potatoes and I like ‘em fried
Still, I wake up in the morning feeling fine
Feeling fine, since you’re mine

I get to bed way past three
No, that’s not supposed to be so very good for me
But I wake up feeling fine
I never dream a big long list
Of nightmares to tell to my psychiatrist
Still, I wake up in the morning feeling fine

Baby it must be ‘cause you kiss me goodnight every night
Next day I rise king size with my eyes a-shine
Superior to Superman!

I never rub the goose grease on my skin
I open up the window and let the smog roll in
Still, I wake up in the morning feeling fine
Feeling fine, baby, since I know that you are mine
