 I got  out of bed  and came here  for adventure.
 I stepped  on a stone  on the way.
 I took  off my shoe  and a dog  came towards  me
wagging  his tail  happily.
Dog,  if you could speak,  you'd know  what to do.
Simply  turn around  and run.
Dog,  if you could speak,  you bury  your bone
 and you show  me the way  back home.
Got  out of bed,  and I put  on my sun  suit.
Blue  checky shirt  and a dress.
Nothing  was left  for a girl  in pajamas.
 No breakfast,  no kindness,  no cake.
Girl,  if you could speak,  you’d know  what to do
Ages  left a gift  with you
Rent  a cheap second-hand crystal ball
 I will trust  my future  to you
 (w h i s t l e s)
 I got  out of bed  when the springs  wouldn’t have  me
 They fired  me up  like a gun
 Fell into  my suit  and I walked  to breakfast
Green  leafs and blue  sky and sun
Boy,  if you could speak,  you’d know  what to do
 You’d sit  and let the world  go round
 Remember  all you saw  and tell  it back
 In the stories  when the day  is done
 Remember  all you saw  and tell  it back
 In the stories  when the day  is done
