    DescriptionSheet music is for "Oh! How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning." Irving Berlin's Bugle Song. Written and composed by Irving Berlin. Published by Waterson, Berlin, & Snyder Company in 1918. The song gives a comic perspective on military life. Berlin composed the song as an expression of protest against the indignities of Army routine shortly after being drafted into the United States Army in 1918. The song soon made the rounds of camp and became popular with other soldiers, partly because hatred of reveille was universal. The cover has a bold title, a blue background with black silhouette of mountians and a waving flag. A soldier in the forefront playing a bugle. There is a photo inset of Eddie Cantor introduced by Zeigfeld Follies.

    The back cover is sample sheet music for "Mammy's Little Pansy."
