"Wake with the buttercup, come on get up, get up.........."

by Robert A. O'Donnell
(New York, N.Y.)

I am now 87 years old. When I was three, my Father, a professional musician, taught me this song. I do not recall all the words of it, but

"Wake with the buttercup, come on get up get up, here comes the sun; open your sleepy eyes look at the flaming skies, here comes the sun.

Da, da da da da da, Da da da da da da:
Not a shadow in your way this day is your day!

Da da da da da da; da da da da da da
Here comes the sun!!!

Get song to wake the kids
by: Dick Johnson

My mother who would have been 96 woke me with song. Unfortunately, she couldn't carry a tune, a trait she passed on to me! She woke us every morning with this song. I did the same as my kids were growing up. I am happy and relieved to finally discover that the song actually exists and that others woke-up and enjoyed it in their youth too.
Her words were a little different.

Wake up you sleepy head,
Wake up, get out of bed.
Here comes the sun.
Open your sleepy eyes,
Look at the flaming skies.
Here comes the sun.

I was raised by my great grandmother who passed away in 2006 at the age of 91. I am 30 now and sing this song to my daughter in the mornings! I almost forgot the lyrics myself and was astounded when I found this!! I love that people post random things like this!!! She would absolutely love the internet now!!! Thank you!!! <3

Wake with the buttercup
by: Anonymous

Here are the complete lyrics to the lullaby"Wake with the buttercup..."

Wake with the buttercup, come on get up, get up, here comes the sun. Open your sleepy eyes, look at the flaming skies, here comes the sun.

Turn your back on the night, morning's cheerful and bright, not a shadow is your way, this day is your day.

Wake with the singing birds, shout out those happy words, "Here comes the sun!"

Wake with the Buttercups
by: Anonymous

My mother also woke me with this song she would be 98 now. The words are similar but a little different. It was a very cheerful experience as she would open the curtains and sing, Wake with the buttercups come on get up , get up here comes the sun. Do you know who wrote it.

Words to the song
by: Anonymous

My ex-husband's(he's 70)mother use to sing this song to him every morning. Her version was:

Wake with the buttercups, come on get up get up, here comes the sun. Turn your back on the night, morning is cheerful and bright. This day is your day.
