about

Jimmy's rich Uncle Stan repeatedly told Jimmy: “See me if you need anything”. So Jimmy set an early morning meeting to seek Stan’s help in turning his song into a demo record. The song Wake Up Call warns of storm clouds gathering.

lyrics

Wake Up Call
© & Published 1998-2012 By Songs of Our Lives Publishing
Words & Music By: James (Jimmy Mack) McIntosh

Song key: A

You never know what's gonna happin' when you wake up. You won't know if the day will bring good or bad stuff. So why not wake up with good things on your mind, you might find out everything's gonna be fine. If it starts out good you might just go along. If it starts out bad you might just sing a song. If it starts out sad you just might still be glad. Tomorrow's another day no matter what goes wrong.

You get a wake up call and that ain't all. You get a wake up call and that ain't all. I suggest some good blues tunes will take care of it all. Early in the morning when you get a wake up call. I get up slow i'm evil in the morning. You can't start me talkin' at the break of dawn. Hey, hey birdie can you help me sing my song. Hey somebody give me a wake up call. Wake me up now!

Now you can think it over what the night might bring. I won't guarantee it will bring only, good things. But if you keep a clear head maybe things won't be so bad. So if you hear a good blues song just sing along. Sing along with me now

You get a wake up call and that ain't all, all right. You get a wake up call and that ain't all. I suggest a good blues song will take care of it all. Early in the morning when you get a wake up call. You get a wake up call and that ain't all, all right. You get a wake up call and that ain't all. I suggest a good blues song will take care of it all. Early in the morning when you get a wake up call. Hear me now! Early in the morning when you get a wake up call. Early in the morning when you get a wake up call.
