Gettin' Ready For Freddy
Alma Cogan Lyrics

Freddie, time to get up, it′s Easter
It is Easter morning, so it's time for Freddie to wake up

Time to get up. Did you hear what I said?
I'm telling you that it's time to get up, are you listening to me?

Freddie, I said time to get ready. F-R-E-D!!!
I already told you to get ready, spelling it out for you, Freddie

(Sung:) Is there no way of getting that kid out of bed?
I'm wondering if there's any possible way to get Freddie to wake up

Freddie, I gotta getcha up and dressed, up and dressed
I need to get you up and dressed for the day, Freddie

Freddie, you gotta look your Sunday best, your Sunday best
It's important for you to dress nicely, in your best clothes, Freddie

Oh, Freddie, look in the Easter bunny's nest, the bunny′s nest
Take a look in the Easter bunny's nest, Freddie

Get ready, I've got to get you up and dressed
It's time for you to get ready, I need to make sure you're up and dressed for the day

But, he doesn't hear a word I say
Freddie isn't listening to me

There doesn′t seem to be a way
I can't seem to find a way to get Freddie to wake up and get ready

To get him up and dressed today
I'm having trouble getting Freddie up and dressed for the day

He heard the cock-a-doodle-doo
Freddie heard the sound of the rooster crowing

Of ev′ry rooster on the clock-a-doodle-doo
Every rooster is crowing and making noise

They're always wakin′ up the stock-a-doodle-doo
The roosters always wake up the other animals

But Freddie doesn't bat an eye
Freddie isn't affected by the noise and remains asleep

Wakin′ up is such a terrible shock
Waking up is such a jarring experience for Freddie

A-doodle-doo.
The rooster crows again

He must be sleeping like a rock-a-doodle-doo
Freddie is sleeping deeply and not waking up

I'm gonna give another knock-a-doodle-doo
I'm going to knock on the door again and make noise to wake up Freddie

And try to make the feathers fly
I will try to make Freddie wake up and get ready for the day

Put on your shirt, put on your pants
You need to put on your shirt and pants, Freddie

You better get dressed, I′ll give you one more chance
I'm giving you one more opportunity to get dressed before we leave

Put on your shoes, put on your hat
You also need to put on your shoes and hat, Freddie

I tawt I taw a putty tat!
I thought I saw a cat, but it's time to get ready, Freddie

Come on Fred, get out of bed
You need to get out of bed, Freddie

I know you heard what they said
You heard what I said earlier, Freddie

Hurry on, hurry on, hurry on, do
Hurry up and get ready, we need to go

Mister Trouble hasn't got a thing on you
Don't worry about anything going wrong, Freddie

Wash your hands and wash your face
You need to wash your hands and face, Freddie

And part your hair the proper place
Make sure your hair is neatly combed, Freddie

Wash wherever dirt appears
You need to wash anywhere on your body where dirt is present, Freddie

And don't forget behind your ears
Don't forget to wash behind your ears, Freddie

Get your shirt and get your pants
Make sure you have your shirt and pants on, Freddie

You haven′t got another chance
This is your last chance to get dressed, Freddie

Get your coat and get your hat
You also need to get your coat and hat, Freddie

And get your blue and white cravat
Don't forget to wear your blue and white cravat, Freddie

Brush your teeth and shine your shoes
You need to brush your teeth and shine your shoes, Freddie

And hurry, there′s no time to lose
We're running out of time, so hurry up, Freddie

If you dawdle, I'm afraid
If you waste time, I'm worried

You′re gonna miss the big parade
We'll miss the big event if we don't leave soon, Freddie

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
We need to hurry, Freddie

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
We really need to hurry, Freddie

Freddie, get ready
Freddie, it's time to get ready

Wake up!
Wake up from your sleep, Freddie
