I woke up today and focused on a way
To get out of bed but then I felt my head
I felt I had to stay, had to stay away
Pathetic, sad, too bad, but I wouldn’t wanna drop dead

I just put my head down I say this cannot be
I need more sleep so go away and let me see
If I can find where I left off dreaming of bereft of
Much needed rest don’t bother to protest

Now I’d gone to bed when the sun was rising
Nothing strange, no not at all surprising
Considering where I had been and thinking of my latest sin
There’s no disguising or reason for despising, no


I woke up today and thought about a way
To avoid to have to get up and face the day ahead of
Me I had to pay for all hip hip hurray
But I knew it was my bad I so easily forget

It had been so late that I couldn’t think straight
Now more or less I think I tried my awful best
To get up and get dressed as I think you might have guessed
This proved to be difficult and challenging a test

So don’t blame me, no don’t flame me
Don’t you try to claim and tame me
Not enough time or hours in the day
It’s not my crime but still I pay, hey!


(Don’t mind me I’ll keep on dreaming)

I woke up today and I knew there was no way
That I would get up you know I get so fed up
With waking up at dawn I can’t suppress a yawn
When the curtains are still drawn
‘cause the night’s not really gone

Now I only got a slight nap but more than a nightcap
With eyelids made of lead and thunder in my head
You know the reason why you shouldn’t even try
Messing with the living dead means trouble up ahead

So for your own sake and that of my headache
Don’t shake awake me, don’t try to make me
Get up and go out because it is not all about
Working nine to five, there’s more to being alive


(Don’t mind me I’ll keep on dreaming)
