Ring the Bell - Lena Horne[00:00:01]
I got up late this morning[00:00:10]
The future had no charm[00:00:13]
I noticed my alarm clock wasn't wownd[00:00:15]
The door bell and the phone were disconnected[00:00:20]
And people I expected weren't around[00:00:25]
So I said to myself where's the reason[00:00:32]
Then I looked at my cellphone and said[00:00:36]
There's the reason[00:00:39]
A song doesn't sing by itself[00:00:43]
A bell doesn't ring by itself[00:00:49]
Ring the bell[00:00:56]
It's a glorious sound people gather around[00:00:58]
And start to cheer and the cheers start to swell[00:01:03]
Don't hide your head in a trough[00:01:08]
Just get up and haul off and ring the bell[00:01:11]
Dreams that dwell in the back of your eyes[00:01:17]
They'll materialize[00:01:23]
If you get up and get out of your shell[00:01:25]
You can't depend upon fate[00:01:29]
Or your height or your weight[00:01:32]
To ring the bell[00:01:35]
There's a grind stone for your nose[00:01:39]
There's a tree top for your toes[00:01:43]
Don't stay home and decompose[00:01:47]
Just get out and get going[00:01:52]
Where a go-getter goes[00:01:54]
Who can tell if you've missed a few meals[00:01:56]
If you're down at the heels[00:02:01]
Put on a well-to-do smile[00:02:03]
You'll do well[00:02:05]
When it's a crime to get up[00:02:08]
That's the time to get up and ring the bell[00:02:11]
And it's like I always say[00:02:18]
Don't do anything halfway[00:02:22]
There's a time for work and play[00:02:26]
Don't put off til tomorrow what you could do today[00:02:31]
Ring the bell[00:02:35]
Be the earliest bird[00:02:37]
Why it's simply absurd[00:02:40]
How much a wide awake look can compel[00:02:42]
When it's a crime to get up[00:02:47]
That's the time to get up[00:02:52]
You got to clime to get up[00:02:56]
And ring and ring the bell[00:02:59]
