Lyrics
(Folk song)
You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up,
You’ve got to get up this morning.
You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up,
Get up with the bugler’s call.
The major told the captain,
The captain told the sergeant,
The sergeant told the bugler,
The bugler told them all:
You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up,
You’ve got to get up this morning.
You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up,
Get up with the bugler’s call.
Recorder notes D, G, B, D’

The lyrics I was taught are; I cant get em up I cant get em up I cant get em up in the morning, I cant get em up I cant get em up I cant get em up at all T corporals worse than privates the sergeants worse than corporals the lieutenants worse than sergeants and the captains worse of all.
Thank you! This is also the lyrics I learned at Girls Scouts
