Off with the blanket, down with the window, on with the day
You gotta stretch just a little, bend just a little, you’ll feel OK
Sing while you’re washing, sing while you’re dressing
Carefree and gay
Ho-dle-ay start the day right
Back to the window, up with the window, down with some air
Off with the slippers, on with the shoes and then comb your hair
Out of the bedroom, into the kitchen
Breakfast is there
Ho-dle-ay start the day right
Though the skies be cloudy
Smile and all the world say’s “Howdy”
Off with the blanket, up with the curtain, greet the new day
In with the sugar, down with the jam, but don’t you delay
Out of the kitchen, out of the cottage
Sing on your way
Ho-dle-ay start the day right

On with the day

Come on now, Satch, you feel OK
Sing while you’re washing, sing while you’re dressing
Gat on outa that hay

What d’ya say we get some of the air

Come on, rugged, comb your hair
Out of the bedroom, into the kitchen
Come and get it, breakfast is there

Though the skies be cloudy
(it sure do look like rain don’t it
(clear up directly)
Smile and all the world says “Howdy”

Off with the blanket, up with the curtain, greet the new day
In with the sugar, only two lumps please, don’t you delay
Out of the kitchen, out of the cottage
Singing on your way

Ho-dle-ay start the day right

That's right
Hear what I'm tellin' ya
That's right
Ho-ho-ho-dle-ay, that's the only way

You gotta start the day right
Well, roll it
Quickly
