Irving Berlin wrote Oh! How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning in 1918. The song, written shortly after he was drafted into the United States Army, was Berlin's comic protest to the unfairness of military life. The song appeared in the Zeigfeld Follies of 1918, and it was also in the Broadway show Yip Yip Yaphank the same year. In 1926, Max Fleischer featured the song in a Song Car-Tune short film featuring The Bouncing Ball. In 1932, the song was featured again in an installment of Fleischer's Screen Songs, and it was performed in live-action by Les Reis and Artie Dunn - also known as The Wandering Minstrels. This charming theatrical short starring Betty Boop was their first appearance on film. In 1943, Oh! How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning was featured in the stage play This Is The Army - which was then adapted into a film the following year.

OH! HOW I HATE TO GET UP IN THE MORNING
I've been a soldier quite a while
And I would like to state
The life is simply wonderful
The Army food is great
I sleep with ninety-seven others in a wooden hut
I love them all
They all love me
It's very lovely but
Oh! How I hate to get up in the morning
Oh! How I'd love to remain in bed
For the hardest blow of all
Is to hear the bugler call
Ya gotta get up
Ya gotta get up
Ya gotta get up this morning
Someday I'm going to murder the bugler
Someday they're going to find him dead
I'll amputate his reveille
And step upon it heavily
And spend the rest of my life in bed
And then I'll get that other pup
The guy who wakes the bugler up
I've been a soldier quite a while
And I would like to state
The life is simply wonderful
The Army food is great
I sleep with ninety-seven others in a wooden hut
I love them all
They all love me
It's very lovely but
Oh! How I hate to get up in the morning
Oh! How I'd love to remain in bed
For the hardest blow of all
Is to hear the bugler call
Ya gotta get up
Ya gotta get up
Ya gotta get up this morning
Someday I'm going to murder the bugler
Someday they're going to find him dead
I'll amputate his reveille
And step upon it heavily
And spend the rest of my life in bed
And then I'll get that other pup
The guy who wakes the bugler up
