I woke up, it was 7 a.m.
It sounded like the walls were caving in
There was a man with a truck and
He was throwing stuff in
Scraps of rubble and aluminum
So I went outside and I said to him
Hey I'm trying to sleep, it's seven a.m.
Then he looked at me with a mischievous grin
And said That is when I can begin

Cos there's a bylaw, a bylaw
And I can start work at seven.
There's a bylaw and by law
It's time to wake up, Kevin.

I was driving to a show
And I turned the corner nice and slow
I got pulled over by a cop
And she gave me a ticket for a rolling stop

Cos there's a bylaw, a bylaw
And I can start work at seven
There's a bylaw, it's a full stop
When you're turning at the 7-Eleven.

7-Eleven, Eleven Seven
7-Eleven, Eleven Seven
7-Eleven, Eleven Seven,
7-Eleven, Eleven STOP!

The last time I cried
There was a mackerel sky
And it wasn't so long ago
The last time we spoke
I was telling a joke
And you didn't laugh at all
You didn't laugh at all.

There's a bylaw, a bylaw
And I can start work at seven
There's a bylaw and by law,
It's time to wake up, Kevin.
Time to wake up
Time to wake up
It's time to wake up
It's time to wake up
It's time
It's time
It's time
It's time to wake up

And greet a brand-new day
There's a soft summer wind
There are birds in the trees
There's a clear blue sky
And a bright shining sun
It's a beautiful day
In this wonderful world
