about

Written and arranged by The New Ruffians

lyrics

It’s the first day of the festival
Line up the drinks and we’ll swag em all
This is the one we love best of all
With a toora loora yay
There ain’t no clouds, I’ll testify
The sun is shining, I want to cry
Stamp your feet and kiss the sky
Let’s party on today

It’s time to wake up, shape up
Get your arses out of bed
We’re shipping out today
It’s time to wake up, shape up
Get your arses out of bed
Sore-heads be damned

Its been a long time me friends
In this land of hope and glory
But it’s 5 o’clock in the morning now
And that’s a different story
Give ya balls a scratch and shake ya head
You’ll soon be dancing off to bed
You’ve still gotta chance to get off your head
Sing one more time.

It’s time to wake up, shape up
Get your arses out of bed
We’re shipping out today
It’s time to wake up, shape up
Get your arses out of bed
Sore-heads be damned

It’s time to wake up, shape up
Get your arses out of bed
We’re shipping out today
It’s time to wake up, shape up
Get your arses out of bed
Sore-heads be damned

You said you wanna go back to sleep
But that’s just an illusion
You’ve had so much grog to drink
You’re a ball of confusion
You’re part of this big society
No time to swing the lead
If Dave and his boys gets his way
You’ll be working til ya dead

It’s time to wake up, shape up
Get your arses out of bed
We’re shipping out today
It’s time to wake up, shape up
Get your arses out of bed
Sore-heads be damned

It’s time to wake up, shape up
Get your arses out of bed
We’re shipping out today
It’s time to wake up, shape up
Get your arses out of bed
Sore-heads be damned
