《A Friend of Yours: Ring the Bell》歌词

[00:00:01] Ring the Bell - Lena Horne

[00:00:10] I got up late this morning

[00:00:13] The future had no charm

[00:00:15] I noticed my alarm clock wasn't wownd

[00:00:20] The door bell and the phone were disconnected

[00:00:25] And people I expected weren't around

[00:00:32] So I said to myself where's the reason

[00:00:36] Then I looked at my cellphone and said

[00:00:39] There's the reason

[00:00:43] A song doesn't sing by itself

[00:00:49] A bell doesn't ring by itself

[00:00:56] Ring the bell

[00:00:58] It's a glorious sound people gather around

[00:01:03] And start to cheer and the cheers start to swell

[00:01:08] Don't hide your head in a trough

[00:01:11] Just get up and haul off and ring the bell

[00:01:17] Dreams that dwell in the back of your eyes

[00:01:23] They'll materialize

[00:01:25] If you get up and get out of your shell

[00:01:29] You can't depend upon fate

[00:01:32] Or your height or your weight

[00:01:35] To ring the bell

[00:01:39] There's a grind stone for your nose

[00:01:43] There's a tree top for your toes

[00:01:47] Don't stay home and decompose

[00:01:52] Just get out and get going

[00:01:54] Where a go-getter goes

[00:01:56] Who can tell if you've missed a few meals

[00:02:01] If you're down at the heels

[00:02:03] Put on a well-to-do smile

[00:02:05] You'll do well

[00:02:08] When it's a crime to get up

[00:02:11] That's the time to get up and ring the bell

[00:02:18] And it's like I always say

[00:02:22] Don't do anything halfway

[00:02:26] There's a time for work and play

[00:02:31] Don't put off til tomorrow what you could do today

[00:02:35] Ring the bell

[00:02:37] Be the earliest bird

[00:02:40] Why it's simply absurd

[00:02:42] How much a wide awake look can compel

[00:02:47] When it's a crime to get up

[00:02:52] That's the time to get up

[00:02:56] You got to clime to get up

[00:02:59] And ring and ring the bell
