She woke me up with a bang, bang
Looking' over cross eyed had a big hunch
That the world was a big lie
When I got up all the blood to my head
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed

I went over to the way side
Looking for the high tide
What will I find, will I find, will I find, find
All I saw was a man that had a hat
That had a pom-pom he's been there, for years
Can someone tell me how long?

Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find

You see this woman woke me up
At a quarter to three
And I didn't know it then
But she put a spell on, me

Said, 'I had to go down
To where the cliffs meet the sea
And meet an old man
To present my plea'

So I headed way down to the big pier
To await and confront my big fear
I wheeled around behind to my
Blindside to find an old man
With a lime and a kind eye

Said, 'Mister, mister with your beard so long
Won't you be a saint and tell me
Just where I'm going?'
He pointed to a conk shell and then
To the lime and said, 'This is all
I really need to get by'

Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find

Hey, hey mister man, I know you don't know
Who you think I think I am but I can safely say
That I should've been sleeping, been sleeping
Been sleeping, been sleeping
Been sleeping the day away, hey, hey

I said, 'Scuse me, have you got the time?'
He shrugged his shoulders said, 'Get a spine'
Coconut hit me on the head, Jonesin' for a fig
I booked last night, I need another fix, dig

Just then I see a *****le *****le
In the old man's eye
And a wave tossed bottle
Is thrown to the sky

I caught it on the rebound
It landed with a soft sound
I took out the message
And put the, bottle down

Inside was the antidote to the spell
I read it to the man 'cause he, couldn't read so well
Said, 'Don't worry about a, thing
You know your path is true just ease your
Mind have a banana or two'

Well, goodness, goodness, woe is me
The man nearly flipped to learn
That he was free but just before we
Left and started kicking it
I picked up the bottle and stop sixed it

Kick, kick, shuffle, shuffle back to the beach
With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach
If that woman comes to you with
Her song so sweet, say damn
Let the poor sucker sleep, let him sleep

Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find
