Lyrics
Oliver
Francine, it's time to get up!
Francine
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up this morning
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up this morning
The sun is much too bright
I'm not in the mood for light
Didn't get enough sleep last night
I'm gonna stay in bed
With my pillow over my head
Did you hear what I just said? Ha!
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up this morning
I could stay in bed all day
Don't need to go outside and play
What's the big deal anyway?
I'm going back to finish my dream
Win the Olympics for the Frensky Team
Go away or I will scream. Ha!
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up this morning
Oliver
Francine, wake up.
Francine (Oliver)
Under the covers I have discovered (Francine!)
The wonders of slumber (Wake up!)
Under the covers I have discovered (Francine!)
The wonders of slumber (Wake up!)
Francine
Under the covers I have discovered
The wonders of slumber
Oliver
Francine, wake up!
Francine
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up this morning
Francine (Oliver)
I don't want to wake up (All right, Franky.)
I don't want to wake up (I'm not kidding now!)
I don't want to wake up this morning (Get up!)
Francine (Oliver)
I don't want to wake up (sounds of knocking Hey!)
I don't want to wake up (She's pushed the bed up against the door!)
I don't want to wake up this morning (Francine! Nuh, ugh!)
Francine
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up this morning
(Yawns, snores.)
