Wake Up Lyrics

Wake up and smell the coffee,
Rise and shine,
The early bird gets the worm,
Strike while the iron's hot,
And whistle while you work

Stay on the trail,
Keep your hands and arms inside the train,
Don't stray,
Watch your step,
And wipe your feet,
Draw inside the lines

What if you didn't know where the bad side of town was,
Where would you wander to?
So many places from which to choose
Would you let yourself be?

Don't cause a scene,
Mind your manners,
Speak only if spoken to,
You know what you are not to do,
Watch and learn

What if you never were short for time?
All meetings cancelled, clocks stopped at nine,
Without alarms the silence beams,
Invited to be

What if you never heard a word they say,
And up were down and night were day?
I bet you'd have a lot more time to play
If you'd let yourself go

Breath deep,
Speak out,
Make up your mind,
Be brave,
Follow your dreams,
Listen to your heart,
Close your eyes,
Make a wish

The Ditty Bops is a band from Los Angeles, California that play a blend of folk, bluegrass, jazz, swing music, ragtime and musical theater. They are headed by Abby DeWald (vocals and acoustic guitar) and Amanda Barrett (vocals, mandolin and dulcimer). They are noted for their excellent harmonies and generally playful style and tempo.

The Ditty Bops formed in New York City, when Abby and Amanda were on a hunt for a friend's lost cat. When they stumbled into the backyard of a stranger, they discovered that he was a musician and an avid guitar collector. He encouraged them to form a band and start playing. So began the Ditty Bops.

Abby and Amanda have been a couple since 1999.

The Ditty Bops appeared with Tori Amos in 2005 while promoting their first eponymous album. Since then they have released a second album, Moon Over the Freeway, and the freshly released Summer Rains Read more on Last.fm.
