Woke up early this morning 
  Tired of being late to work 
And the bossman's threats to fire
   Woke me up no smile or smirk
Hopped in the shower early 
   'cause this day I'm a be on time 
Hopped out the tub and surely 
   Hopped right into a rhyme 
I said, "rhyme what ya doin'?
   Gonna make me write you down." 
So I grabbed some tissue paper 
   And more soon hopped around 
They vied for my attention 
   Though I asked them to just wait 
But they had no understanding 
  Of my fate if I was late 
So these little hopping things 
   Grabbed me by the hands 
Naked and still wet they asked 
   Me to write down their plans 
They told me who they were 
   In splendid fame and glory 
Said they would not let me go 
   'til I'd written the whole story 
But it was o.k. - I woke up early 
   So I still had time no doubt
I'll just skip breakfast and write 
   'til I on penned this whole thing out 
They had no patience - just a hopping 
   And for me no sympathy 
Said if I did not get it then and there
   They would not return to me 
And so we battled, drug, and trudged
   To our destination 
And by this time I was captivated 
   And had no hesitation 
Lost track of time chatting with hopping rhymes
   Who just refused to wait? 
Woke up early - but peeped the clock 
   I was half and hour late 
Threw on my Hanes and placed the blame 
   On these little hopping heathens 
And if my boss is not too crossed 
   Tomorrow I'll be prepared 
And wake up earlier even.
