TSNBDSC Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Harry_Nilsson Lyrics Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comesWhat if I'm late, gotta big date, gotta get home before the sun comes upUp and away, got a big day, sorry can't stay, I gotta run, run, yeahGotta get home, pick up the phone, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late There was a time when we could dance until a quarter to ten,We never thought it would end then, we never thought it would endWe used to carry on and drink and do the rock and rollWe never thought we'd get olderWe never thought it'd grow cold, but now Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comesWhat if I'm late, gotta big date, gotta get home before the sun comes upUp and away, got a big day, sorry can't stay, I gotta run, run, yeahGotta get home, pick up the phone, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late Down by the sea she knew a sailor who had been to warShe never even knew a sailor before, she never even knew his nameHe'd come to town and he would pound her for a couple of daysAnd then he'd sail across the bubbly waves and those were happier days, but now Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comesWhat if I'm late, gotta big date, gotta get home before the sun comes upUp and away, got a big day, sorry can't stay I gotta run, run, yeahGotta get home pick up the phone, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late Songwriters: Ted Nilsson Gotta Get Up lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Locker Room was my bar back then, when I was a student at Canisius High. (I can’t count the number of times that place was cited for underaged customers!) ????? .

The Senator Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 You did need a small modicum of intelligence - you had to remember the name, address, and - most importantly - the birthdate on that license. I was always surprised to see kids finally make it to the front of the line, then fail that simple test! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My birth year of 1956 had an advantage in New York State, as all you had to do was carefully alter the block type style ‘6’ into a ‘5’, usually with a pin. Then bury it under three layers of plastic film that most wallets use to cover their complementary picture of Sandra Dee. At the Locker Room, just reaching for your pocket was usually good enough proof for the door staff you were of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
