GOTTA GO TO WORK AGAIN
Words and music by Edgar Fairchild and Milton Pascal, ©1936.
As recorded by Tommy Dorsey and His Clambake 7, 1936.

CHORUS: Bought a house and lot, a limousine, a swanky yacht;
My champagne would fill up any silver(?).
Ho-hum! There goes the alarm clock. Gotta get up and go to work again.

Acting awf'lly bored, I loaned a buck to Henry Ford,
Broke a date with John D. Rockefeller.
Ho-hum! There goes the alarm clock. Gotta get up and go to work again.

No more sleep today.
Must be on my way.
Must forget the night and all its thrills.
Gotta make some dough,
Though an hour ago
I lit cigarettes with dollar bills.

Goin' out to dine, I met a girl who was divine.
Soon we both were headed for Niagara.
Ho-hum! There goes the alarm clock. Gotta get up and go to work again.
