You Gotta Get Us Up!

Beatles & Friends were doing a concert last night. They got through the first half and were getting ready  to leave the stage when John came back to the  microphone and said "Hey, folks! You know, I'm supposed to be on strike 'til some of my music gets on  a CD in the material world. I didn't intend to do any  new work. But there's a new morning show out there that's asking for a theme song especially from me. Do you think we ought to give 'em one? Think we ought to work on it right here, right now?"
The crowd started jumping up and down and going "Yes! Yes! Do it! Do it! Yes! Yes! Do it! Do it!"
John took a slip of paper out of his pocket and said "Let's see, the name of the show is The Boogie Man & Indie. Indie's kind of cute, too! How 'bout this?" And they began to go through several renditions. They added some stuff, took out some stuff, the other band members suggested things, the audience suggested things until they came up with  this:

 YOU GOTTA GET US UP!

1. Come on Boogie Man!
You gotta wake us up!
Come on Boogie Man!
The weekend's been a rut.
We got to get goin'!
 Get us out of this rut!
 Come on Boogie Man!
 Come on and wake us up!

 2. Come on, Indie!
 Tell us what's been goin' on!
 Who will you have on today,
 To get our brains turned on?
 Have you got a politician,
 a prophet or a cop?
 Come on Indie!
 Give us somethin' hot!
 Come on Indie!
 You gotta wake us up!

 3. The mornin' is so boring
til that music starts to play!
Until we hear those antics
that get us on our way!
Monday would be a bore
if you weren't on the air!
We never would get goin'
we'd never get outta here!

4. Come on Boogie Man!
Give us somethin' hot!
Come on Indie!
You gotta make us trot!

Everybody hopes you like it. But that's not all!  Early yesterday Bach finally got a song through.

They play music in the morning,

2. When you wanna know what's goin' on,
or hear that special tune,
The Boogie Man and Indie
will have it for you soon!
Their rockin' every mornin'
will keep you rockin' on all day!
The Boogie Man and Indie,
have the tunes you love to play!
