What is your waking up song?

The other day when I was waking Reid up I sang,

Good morning to you,
Good morning to you,
Good morning, Reid Elizabeth,
Good morning to you.

I usually follow up with a verse of “What day is this?” and then “It’s Tuesday today” (or whatever the appropriate day). And usually, despite my awful singing voice, Reid grins when I sing – helped a bit by me tickling her.

On this particular day, though, Reid stopped me and so I switched to “How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning“. Ot at least I tried but it turns out I know only the first line of the song. I’m going to have to commit the first verse to my memory:

Oh! How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning,
Oh! How I’d love to remain in bed
For the hardest blow of all is to hear the bugler call:
‘You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up,
You’ve got to get up this morning!’

Reid liked the latter song and started to sing the “Oh, how I hate to wake up” line all by herself with enthusiasm. More enthusiasm than you would expect from someone professing to hate to wake up. Reid generally has no problem waking up, provided that she can have some milkies and wake up slowly.

How about you, what is your waking up song?

    Mine was

    Wake up, wake up you sleepy head

    Get up, get up get out of bed….when the kids were older

    And when they were younger and would put up with my singing, it was……

    Good morning, morning

    Hello Sunshine,

    Wake up sleepyhead,

    Why’d we move that bojangled clock so far away from the bed?

    Just one more minute,

    That’s why we moved it,

    One more hug or two,

    Do you love waking up next to me as much as I love waking up next to you?

    You make the coffee,

    I’ll make the beds,

    I’ll fix your lunch and you fix mine,

    Tell me the truth,

    Do these old shoes look funny, honey it’s almost nine?

    You be careful,

    Gotta go,

    I love you,

    Have a beautiful day and kiss the happiest girl in the whole USA

    Skipitty Do Da, thank you lord for making him for me,

    And thank you for letting life turn out the way I always thought it could be.

    There once was a time I could not imagine how it would feel to say,

    I’m the happiest girl in the whole USA ……

    And when they got a little older I would go in and sing the first line and then make them groan out the second line etc. etc.
    I think it’s a song from Donna Fargo?
