[00:21.99]She woke me up with a bang bang
[00:23.83]Lookin' over crossed eyed
[00:25.15]Had a big hunch that the world was a big lie
[00:27.64]When I got up, all the blood to my head
[00:30.08]I got so dizzy, fell back into my bed
[00:32.13]I went over to the wayside
[00:33.72]Lookin' for the high tide
[00:35.04]What will I find?
[00:35.90]Will I find, will I find, find
[00:37.58]All I saw was a man that had a hat that had a pompom
[00:40.57]He's been there for years
[00:41.72]Can someone tell me how long?
[00:43.03]Wake up to tell me
[00:48.02]Wake up to show me what I could not find
[00:53.11]Wake up to tell me
[00:58.09]Wake up to show me what I could not...
[01:02.51]You see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three
[01:05.13]And I didn't know it then but she put a spell on me
[01:07.47]Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
[01:10.25]And meet an old man to present my plea
[01:12.42]So I headed way down to the big pier (big pier)
[01:15.12]To await and confront my big fear (my big fear)
[01:17.49]I wheeled around behind to my blind side
[01:19.49]To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
[01:22.20]Said, "Mister, mister, with your beard so long
[01:24.63]Won't you be a saint and tell me just where I'm goin'"
[01:27.26]He pointed to a conch shell and then to the lime
[01:29.46]And said, "This is all I really need to get by"
[01:32.29]Wake up to tell me
[01:37.02]Wake up to show me what I could not find
[01:41.98]Wake up to tell me
[01:46.78]Wake up to show me what I could not...
[01:51.56]Hey (hey) mister man
[01:55.93]I know ya don't know who ya think I think I am
[02:00.93]But I can safely say
[02:05.04]That I shoulda been sleepin'
[02:06.47]Been sleepin', been sleepin', been seepin'
[02:08.76]The day away
[02:13.49]Hey, hey
[02:17.77]🎵
[02:52.28]I said excuse me
[02:53.63]Have you got the time?
[02:54.86]He shrugged his shoulders, said, "Get a spine"
[02:57.00]Coconut hit me on the head jonesin' for a fig
[02:59.37]"I got booked last night, I need another fix, dig?"
[03:04.49]🎵
[03:09.88]Yeah, just then I see a twinkle twinkle in the old man's eye
[03:13.31]And a wave tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
[03:15.77]I caught it on the rebound and landed with a soft sound
[03:18.20]I took out the message, put the bottle down
[03:20.45]Inside was an antidote to the spell
[03:22.74]And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well
[03:24.95]Said, "Don't worry about a thing ya know your path is true
[03:27.57]Just ease your mind, have a banana or two"
[03:29.77]Well goodness, goodness woe is me
[03:32.14]The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free
[03:34.57]But just before we left and started kickin' it (kickin' it)
[03:36.97]I picked up the bottle and star sixed it
[03:39.38]Kick kick, shuffle shuffle back to the beach
[03:41.43]With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach
[03:43.83]That woman come to see you with her song so sweet
[03:46.08]Say "Damn, let the poor sucker sleep"
[03:52.56]"Let him sleep"
[03:55.40]🎵
[03:58.12]Wake up to tell me
[04:02.77]Wake up to show me what I could not find
[04:07.52]Wake up to tell me
[04:12.26]Wake up to show me what I could not find
[04:16.71]🎵
