Are you sleeping, are you sleeping
Brother John? Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing
Ding dong ding, ding dong ding

Free Jacques, Free Jacques
Dormez vous? domez vous?
Sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines
Din din don, din din don

Are you sleeping, are you sleeping
Brother John? Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing
Ding dong ding, ding dong ding

Honey, sweetie get out of bed
The sun is shining round and red
Waking every sleepyhead
To play with me this morning

This is the way we stretch up tall
Stretch up tall, stretch up tall
Say good day to one and all
So early in the morning

This is the way we eat our toast
Eat our toast, eat our toast
Milk and toast I like the most
So early in the morning

This is the way we wash our hands
Sticky little fingers with strawberry jam
And wash that place right on your face
So early in the morning

This is the way we brush our teeth
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth
And while you're there let's comb your hair
So early in the morning

Now go put on your socks and shoes
Put on your hat, zip your coat up, 100
Go out to play and have a great day
So early in the morning, so early in the morning
Go out to play and have a great day
So early in the morning
