Those Early Morning Blues

(Think of this as sung to the tune of Heartbreak Hotel, more or less.)

Woke up this morning, when the dog began to bark,
Don't wanna leave my duvet, don't wanna be up with the lark
I got those grey morning blues now, grey morning blues again.
Gotta let the dog out, else he just might leave his mark.

Went down and let the dog out, fell into a chair,
Don't ever wanna move now, don't wanna take the air
I got those grey morning blues now, grey morning blues again.
Now hound dog wants his water, won't stop snuffling till it's there.

Stumble to the kitchen, give the dog his bowl,
Look round for a teapot, to ease my aching soul
I got those grey morning blues now, grey morning blues again.
Gotta get a brew now, before my life goes down the hole.

There's Rooibos with Vanilla, there's Rooibos without,
There's Green tea and there's White tea, and pink and blue no doubt
I got those grey morning blues now, grey morning blues again.
But I just can't find no Tea tea, and it makes me wanna shout.

I got no time for Rooibos, with that or without this,
I never smile for Camomile, that tastes - well, not like bliss
I got those grey morning blues now, grey morning blues again.
For a proper builder's brew now, I'd even give that dog a kiss.
