Question

My girls used to wake me with it.It is not the red robin song.It has other funny lyrics about how you must be dreaming again because theres an elephant in your room and stuff like that.

Answer 1

I’m not positive but I believe that what you have quoted is a version of an old song/poem with multiple versions. One such version follows here and the source link provides much more detail on its origins.


VALERIE BLOOM
WAKE UP, AMY
Wake up, Amy chile,
water fe get,
the barrel fe full an’
we no draw one pan yet,
an’ me see de sun
a-come up over de hill,
ah know if I lef ’
yuh gwine be sleepin’ still
at half past ten,
maybe twelve o’clock,
if yuh don’t hurry up,
de school gate gwine lock,
before yuh get dere,
we haffe look firewood,
comb we hair,
give de goat dem food,
tie out de donkey,
sweep de yard,
an’ eat breakfast,
I know it hard
Fe leave you
Nice warm bed,
But work dey fe do,
Get up, sleepyhead!
Wake up, wake up, wake up beeny bud
Wake up, beeny soon o’ mawnin’,
Wake up, wake up, wake up beeny bud
Wake up, beeny soon o’ mawnin’.
