If you get up in the early morn, and you ain't feelin' good

My momma told me when I was young, that things would turn out good

You'll feel better as sure as you're born, keep knockin' on wood.

So I keep smilin' and havin' fun, keep knockin' on wood

For every dog has his day they say, and bad luck turns to good.

So keep your chin up and every day, keep knockin' on wood.

Just keep the rhythm rockin', tick-tick-tockin', rockin' in a solid way

No matter what the weather, you'll feel better, knockin' your blues away.
