Harry Nilsson - Gotta Get Up Lyrics






Gotta get up
Gotta get out
Gotta get home before the morning comes
What if I'm late
Got a big day
Gotta get home before the sun comes up

Up and away
Got a big day
Sorry can't stay
I gotta run run yeah

Gotta get home
Pick up the phone
I gotta let the people know
I'm gonna be late

There was a time when we could dance
Until the quarter to ten
We never thought it would end then
We never thought it would end

We used to carry on and drink
And do the rock and roll
We never thought we'd get older
We never thought it'd grow cold
But now

Gotta get up
Gotta get out
Gotta get home before the morning comes
What if I'm late
Got a big day
Gotta get home before the sun comes up

Up and away
Got a big day
Sorry can't stay,
I gotta run run yeah

Gotta get home
Pick up the phone
I gotta let the people know
I'm gonna be late

Down by the sea
She knew a sailor who had been to war
She never even knew a sailor before
She never even knew his name

He'd come to town
And he would pound her for a couple of days
And then he'd sail across the bubbling waves
And those were happier days
But now

Gotta get up
Gotta get out
Gotta get home before the morning comes
What if I'm late
Got a big day
Gotta get home before the sun comes up

Up and away
Got a big day
Sorry can't stay
I gotta run run yeah

Gotta get home
Pick up the phone
I gotta let the people know
I'm gonna be late

    THE UNIVERSE IS TRYING TO FUCK WITH ME. AND I REFUSE TO ENGAGE!

  6. C.... J....

    My granddad has this record and I already knew the song which made it even better when I watched Russian Doll. Just as good on vinyl, if not better, than it is online.

  7. S.... W....

    I grew up listening to Harry Nilsson's music and it's real nice I found it on YouTube!! It is a time machine!

  8. L.... ....

    I guess i’m the only one who came here for the music and not because of a fucking tv show

  9. A.... C....

    I fell down the stairs and heard this song!

  10. l.... l....

    Here from Russian Doll!

  11. B.... M....

    Sunny!!! See u soon.

  12. E.... B....

    This song lowkey is haunting and scares me now bc of Russian doll

  13. c.... ,....

    setting this as my alarm was very much ineffective because the moment i wake up i am so disoriented i can't recognize the song as nothing but a bunch of random noises

  14. R.... P....

    Russian Doll

  15. G.... F....

    I am not a cock a roach

  22. R.... �....

    Russian doll

  23. T.... Y....

    Harry Nilsson was truly under appreciated in his time. Peace and Love.

  24. A.... A....

    What's Russian Doll?

  25. A.... K....

    I'm afraid of putting it on repeat

  26. p.... ....

    Legit thought this was a Billy Joel song

  27. H.... D....

    *"ahh sh t here we go again"*

  28. J.... ....

    "He'd come to town and he'd pound her for a couple of days" That's what I heard and I'm dying!

    J.... ....

    I think that's actually what it was!

  29. D.... f....

    It’s nice to hear songs that I can sing to

  30. J.... M....

    Jeez, I'm embarrassed to admit that I always thought this was a Billy Joel song.

  33. A.... J....

    If I do die how do I when I’m in a bungalow

  46. N.... N....

    perfect music

  47. K.... C....

    Bought this LP when it first came out in 1971. Jump into the Fire was my late wife's favourite song of all time. Me, I love every track, including the one that is NOT included here "Let the Good Times Roll" has been missed off - WHY?

  48. J.... S....

    Sweet birthday baby, having fun?

  49. S.... T....

    Who remembers The Point? Not just the show but I LOVE the album!

  50. m.... ....

    The last time I first posted on this page I said it was my 14th time. This is my 15th now.

  51. I.... t....

    The style of this song reminds me of billy Joel lol

    I.... t....

    Not only that but I'm betting the name of that sailor was Davy. 2nd Lol

    I.... t....

    For sure, mixed with some Paul McCartney

  52. A.... ....

    *_sweet birthday, baby!_*

  53. G.... B....

    This song is about being on a coke binge all night realizing you gotta go to work soon, right?

  54. c.... ....

    Man, what a shame the singer is long dead. I wonder what he would have thought that almost 50 years later so many peeps love this song, again.

  55. P.... ....

    CHILLS literal chills every time

  56. S.... D....

    Só eu vim pela boneca russa ??? 😍😍😍

  57. J.... L....

    Russian Doll 🖤

  58. F.... S....

    Wtf is Russian Doll?

  59. r.... r....

    had to do with Nilsson and John Lennon's carrying's on in LA. they would party for some six weeks at at a time, straight, practically killing themselves until collapsing exhausted. then plan a reunion a couple months down the pike after discharge from hospital, freedom from Yoko, or firing squad at recording studios.

  60. u.... ....

    sweet birthday bayyybeee

  61. a.... l....

    Some days I have first comment.

  62. H.... W....

    It's like the fucking Beatles.

  64. D.... P....

    Sweet Birthday Baby!

  65. U.... ....

    Russian Doll <3 <3

  66. i.... ....

    Sounds so much like Macca

  67. c.... r....

    this guy must be given the clockwork orange treatment and made to be sleepless till he drops so he shuts the fvck up and stops singing complete utter bullshit.

  68. B.... C....

    I have no idea what everyone is referencing, but this is just a damn good song.

    B.... C....

    The song is from Russian Doll, which, in my opinion is the best show ever. You should watch it. Then you'll understand the references

  69. L.... D....

    This is the new "I've got you babe"

  70. J.... C....

    Popeye brought me here

  71. n.... ....

  75. S.... Q....

    Russian Doll? Someone?

    S.... Q....

    yessssssssss

  76. s.... ....

    Did I perhaps set this song as my alarm to go off tomorrow which is also my birthday?
    Yes I did.

    Did I also ask my boyfriend to greet me in the morning with "Sweet Birthday Baby!!"
    Yes, I did.

    s.... ....

    Sweet birthday baby

    s.... ....

    Sweet Birthday Baby!

  77. M.... ....

    “it’s laced with cocaine, like how the arabs do it”

  78. r.... j....

    Sweet birthday baby

    r.... j....

    Sweet Birthday Baby

  79. p.... ....

    Something I love about Russian Doll and this song is the usage of it in the show. How they played it constantly which resulted in relating it to restarting every death. Really makes me experience the show all over again whenever I listen to it. (Which is something I really enjoy feeling, whether it be from aromas, films, music, etc.)

  80. I.... M....

    I love how the ending speeds up

  81. O.... ....

    *SWEET*
    *BIRTHDAY*
    *BABY*
