I Can't Go To Sleep
Is it coffee, tea, or what
That won't let my mind be still?
I'm losing sleep, I'm still awake
I need a sleeping pill.
The sandman's out there knocking,
And he's getting tired of waiting.
But I'm just very tired of all this
"sleep-anticipating."
Okay, alright, it's nice at times,
I'll sacrifice some rest -
It's really not so bad sometimes
to entertain a guest.
But my body doesn't go along
With the musings of my mind
"Enough!" it cries, " Now, get some sleep
and strength to face the grind!
"See her later, alligator,
Mañana - catch my drift?
You need your sleep, Monkey Brains,
'cause this is the night shift!"
