Well, the son jumped up in
the middle of the east
at 5 .15 this mornin'
The wife jumped up to feed the kid
at 5 .15 this mornin'
Well, the son jumped up
in the middle of the east
and the wife jumped up
in the middle of the bed
And I jumped up in the middle of a dream
at 5 .15 this mornin'
Well, the woman got the kid all fed
by 6 .15 this mornin'
And I had done made up our bed
at 6 .15 this mornin'
Well, the baby played on dancin' feet
and the woman stirred up a bite to eat
But that dream still pounded in my head
at 6 .15 this mornin'
Well, I walked to work
and the sun got warm
at 7 .15 this mornin'
And I held my lunch pail under my arm
at 7 .15 this mornin'
Well, the dreams kept ringin' in my ear
And gettin' plainer and comin' clear
And gettin' bigger and drawin' near
at 7 .15 this mornin'
Well I guess you know
how some dreams are
at 8 .15 this mornin'
You can't remember what they are
at 8 .15 this morning
Well I scratch my head at the factory gate
and I run to keep from being late
And the clock said fifteen after eight
at 8 .15 this morning
Well I waved at the boss
and I talked to my friends
at 9 .15 this morning
I was fishin' around inside my brain
at 9 .15 this morning
Well, see my dream like a haze or a snatch
Or a blaze from some old fiery match
But the rest of the dream
I could not catch
At nine -fifteen this morn
in'
So at fifteen minutes after ten
At ten -fifteen this mornin'
I told my trouble to all my friends
At ten -fifteen this mornin'
Well, I told them my dream
was plain as day
And how it run like a rabbit away
They said, keep trying if it takes all day
At 10 .15 this mornin'
