The world woke up, it was Saint Rita’s Day
In every park, a band began to play
Every piece of clothing seem to fit just right
You're gonna look so clever
When we’re steppin’ out tonight, so
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day
Buses are running, but you don’t have to pay
The orphanage has no children
The postman has no bills
The priest has no confessors and
The lawyers read no wills, so
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day
(Get up get up............get up, get up)
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day

On all the news, they had nothin’ much to say
Those overdues, have just melted away
There’s bankers on the corner
Giving cash to passers-by
While mothers sleep in peace
Because their babies never cry, so
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day
The empty road, is your personal highway
The fish are biting and the dogs don’t bark
The surf is running up in Central Park
The supermarket’s instituted fifty-six more lanes
There’s a million extra taxis comin’ if it ever rains, so
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day

Your boss is smiling, he’s a real nice guy
The trains and the planes are gonna run on time
Your lover understands you and
Your friends don’t let you down
They value your opinion
Even find you quite profound, so
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day
(Get up get up............get up, get up)
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day
(Get up get up............get up, get up)
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day
(Get up get up............get up, get up)
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day
Come on get up, this is Saint Rita’s Day
