Lyrics:

Uh oh, uh oh, here comes tomorrow

Uh oh, uh oh, what will we borrow now?

And pay back somehow

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh

Cause this is the pilgrim's progress

And there ain't no time to rest

So get up out of your bed

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh

Shake off all in your head

Shake off all in your head

Whoa oh oh

We've got things that we've got to do

You've got people counting on you

Counting on you

Uh oh, uh oh, here comes tomorrow

Uh oh, uh oh, bury this sorrow down

And move on somehow

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh

Cause these are the bills that we're paying

Collect your dimes and keep saying

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh

They come from all over the land

Collecting the thieves and their hands

Whoa oh oh

We've got things that we've got to do

You've got people counting on you

Counting on you

We've got things that we've got to do

You've got people counting on you

Counting on you

In the middle of the night

You open up your eyes

Cause you've things to do

So you ought to up and rise

In the middle of the night

You open up your eyes

Cause you've things to do

So you ought to up and rise

Yeah, you ought to up and rise

We've got things that we've got to do

And you've got people counting on you

They’re counting on you

We've got things that we've got to do

And you've got people counting on you

Counting on you
