Ring The Bell (鸣钟) - Lena Horne[00:00:00]
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[00:00:16]
The door bell and the phone were disconnected[00:00:21]
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[00:00:37]
"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 [00:00:57]
It's a glorious sound people gather around[00:00:59]
And start to cheer and the cheers start to swell [00:01:03]
Don't hide your head in a trough [00:01:09]
Just get up and "haul off" and RING THE BELL [00:01:12]
Dreams that dwell in the back of your eyes:[00:01:18]
They'll materialize[00:01:22]
If you get up and get out of your shell [00:01:24]
You can't depend upon fate[00:01:30]
Or your height or your weight[00:01:33]
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 [00:01:44]
Don't stay home and decompose [00:01:48]
Just get out and get going[00:01:52]
Where a Go-Getter goes [00:01:55]
Who can tell if you've missed a few meals [00:01:57]
If you're down at the heels [00:02:01]
Put on a "well-to-do" smile [00:02:03]
You'll do well [00:02:06]
When it's a crime to get up [00:02:09]
That's the time to get up and RING THE BELL [00:02:12]
And it's like I always say:[00:02:19]
"Don't do anything halfway"[00:02:23]
There's a time for work and play [00:02:27]
Don't put off til tomorrow what you could do today [00:02:32]
RING THE BELL [00:02:36]
Be the earliest bird[00:02:38]
Why it's simply absurd[00:02:41]
How much a wide awake look can compel [00:02:42]
When it's a crime to get up [00:02:48]
That's the time to get up [00:02:53]
You got to clime to get up [00:02:57]
And ring and RING THE BELL [00:03:00]
