Alarm Clock Blues 1921

Music, sweet music,
has always appealed to me,
Ever since I can remember
I've loved to hear good harmony,
But lately I've been bothered
by an instrument
that seems bent to prevent
me from being content
so ev'ry time I hear a bell ring
I just naturally start to sing.

I've got those perturbin'
sleep disturbin'
Alarm clock blues.
Those ever noise makin'
joy breakin' purveyors of bad news,
There's no way that I can find
to make them change their mind.
When they're set
you can bet
they're right on time
and never behind,
Early in the morning
when the sun begins to rise,
They start paging you
to get up and exercise,
so if you want to enjoy
a peaceful snooze,
Take my advice
and be sure you lose
those doggone perturbin'
sleep disturbin'
Alarm Clock Blues.

Slumber, sweet slumber
it seems you've deserted me now,
Always thought that good friends we'd be
but we don't get along somehow.
Mr. Morpheus won't help me,
That I plainly see,
I have cried and I've tried,
but my plea he's denied
and tho' I think that it is a shame,
it's myself that is all to blame.

I've got those perturbin'
sleep disturbin'
Alarm clock blues.
Those ever noise makin'
joy breakin' purveyors of bad news,
There's no way that I can find
to make them change their mind.
When they're set
you can bet
they're right on time
and never behind,
Early in the morning
when the sun begins to rise,
They start paging you
to get up and exercise,
so if you want to enjoy
a peaceful snooze,
Take my advice
and be sure you lose
those doggone perturbin'
sleep disturbin'
Alarm Clock Blues.
