What shall we do when he tries to block us (3X)
Early (pronounced "earl-lie") in the morning?

Hooray and up she rises (3X)
Early in the morning.

2.

Stick him in the cellar with a load of laundry (3X)
Early in the morning.

Chorus.

3.

What shall we do when he tries to knock us (3X)
Early in the morning?

Chorus.

4.

Sit him at a desk with a ton of typing (3X)
Early in the morning.

Chorus.

5.

What shall we do when he tries to mock us (3X)
Early in the morning?

6.

Strip him to his shorts and call him "sonny,"
Pinch him on the ass and call him "honey,"
Put him to work as a Playboy bunny
Early in the morning.
