Well!
She treat me like a personal Jesus
Got the hand, put it where its gonna heal ya
Got the finger, put it right there on the trigger
Well, pump it up, pump it up
Baby make it bigger

Well, I'm going crazy
Pumping it up, pumping it up
Oh, yeah
It's gonna heal ya

She put the cream in my coffee (First thing in the morning)
Put that butter on my biscuit (Honeydew my melons)
Cherries on bananas (Gonna need a second helpin')
You know I'm up for breakfast so early in the morning

Lock the front... Leave the back door open
Yeah, hot tub loosen up, baby been soakin'
I been tokin'... I been sippin'
Slip slide slippin'... all got me tripping

Well... I'm going crazy
Keeping it up, pumping it up, pumping it up
Oh, yeah
Ain't gonna kill ya

She put the cream in my coffee (First thing in the morning)
Spread that butter on my biscuit (Honeydew my melon)
Put berries on bananas (I need a second helping)
That's why I'm up for breakfast so early in the morning

Wake me up babe
Hold me up, wake me up... Gotta get up, gotta get up, gotta get up, gotta get up

[Guitar solo]

She put the cream in my coffee (First thing in the morning)
Spread hot butter on my biscuit (Honeydew my melon)
Like them cherries on bananas (Gonna need a second helping)
Thats why I'm up for breakfast so early in the morning

Got bacon on the table (First thing in the morning)
Squeeze some honey on my biscuit (Honeydew my melon)
Spread some cream on my bananas (I need a second helping)
You know I'm up for breakfast so early in the mornin'
Hot sweet sticky
Get it up, get it up, get it up

Wake me up babe
Wake me up babe
Lift me up baby
Gotta get up, Gotta get up
Hot coffee first thing in the morning
Gotta get up

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
