[Verse]
AmWhen I was young and short of tongue
EA silly wee fool was I
AmThe morning after I left the school
EI heard my mother Amsigh
[Chorus]
AmGet up, get out, you lazy lout
DGet into your working Amclothes
Up to your knees in Coil and grease
With the Ggrindstone to your nose
[Verse]
AmI bought a clock, a bonny wee clock
ETo help me tell the time
AmIt waken me every morning
EWith a very poetic rhythm
[Chorus]
AmGet up, get out, you lazy lout
DGet into your working Amclothes
Up to your knees in Coil and grease
With the Ggrindstone to your nose
[Verse]
AmI married a lass, a bonny wee lass
EAnd kept her many a-year
AmCome what may, she began every day
EBy whispering in my ear
[Chorus]
AmGet up, get out, you lazy lout
DGet into your working Amclothes
Up to your knees in Coil and grease
With the Ggrindstone to your nose
[Verse]
AmSome can lie as long as they like
EThey're luckier man than me
AmI never get to lie very long
EI'm only 5 foot 3
AmGet up, get out, you lazy lout
DGet into your working Amclothes
Up to your knees in Coil and grease
With the Ggrindstone to your nose
[Outro]
AmI'll look for work tomorrow
EIf you just let me sleep Amtoday

[Verse]

When I was young and short of tongue

A silly wee fool was I

The morning after I left the school

E Am

I heard my mother sigh

[Chorus]

Get up, get out, you lazy lout

D Am

Get into your working clothes

Up to your knees in oil and grease

With the grindstone to your nose

[Verse]

I bought a clock, a bonny wee clock

To help me tell the time

It waken me every morning

With a very poetic rhythm

[Chorus]

Get up, get out, you lazy lout

D Am

Get into your working clothes

Up to your knees in oil and grease

With the grindstone to your nose

[Verse]

I married a lass, a bonny wee lass

And kept her many a-year

Come what may, she began every day

By whispering in my ear

[Chorus]

Get up, get out, you lazy lout

D Am

Get into your working clothes

Up to your knees in oil and grease

With the grindstone to your nose

[Verse]

Some can lie as long as they like

They're luckier man than me

I never get to lie very long

I'm only 5 foot 3

Get up, get out, you lazy lout

D Am

Get into your working clothes

Up to your knees in oil and grease

With the grindstone to your nose

[Outro]

I'll look for work tomorrow

E Am

If you just let me sleep today
