Double Time

Up in the morning at the break of day

Working so hard we never play

Running through the blight where the sun don't shine

All I do is double time

Up in the morning and out of the rack

Grab my clothes and put them on my back

Running cross the desert in the shifting sand

Captain, look, I'll give you a helping hand

Up in the morning with a whistle and a yell

I know that voice and I know it well

Captain says you better hit the floor

And don't be walking going out the door

I like women and I like wine

But all I do is double time

Double time here and double time there

Man this life, it's the best anywhere
