It's interesting in my family with 3 other older siblings...My Dad was born in 1910...unfortunately died when I was only 10yrs old...a slight variance of memory for this song: Do most here believe it comes out of Kate Smith song "Here Comes The Sun" (1930?)?
FYI....interesting the kind of memories one has compared to the family:
Here are the variations of memory of Dad's song....
R:
(Something) buttercup
Get up, get up
G:
Wake up little buttercups wake up.π΅π΅πΆπΆ
M (via asking his son):
πΆ Wake up buttercup Come come get up get up Time to start the day Wake up you sleepyhead It's time to play! πΆ
Me:
Come, come, get up, get up,
Wake, little buttercup, Here comes the sun,
Wake up your sleepy head,
Come on, get out of bed,
Let's have some fun!

Wake with the buttercups by: Anonymous
All I remember my Dad singing was: Wake with the buttercups, come on, get up, get up. Here comes the sun. Come on, you sleepy head. Get up, get out of bed. Here comes the sun.
(he once sang this, improvising with a little 'soft shoe', lost his balance and fell through the bedroom door, which had to be repaired)
