I don’t sleep much no more
Not like I did in my younger days
Back then I’d drift off at the drop of a hat
I take a pill and I pray for the best
Pray for the best
Hope it brings me my eternal rest
I don’t drink coffee, I don’t drink tea
I don’t drink nothing
‘Cause it all just makes me pee
I watch the clock and I count my sheep
But night after night, sot sleep, lost sleep
I don’t rest much no more
Not like I did when I was a kid
Back then I could pass out on a subway train
Now I stay up all night watching the news
Watching the news
I would give anything for a snooze
I don’t drink hot toddies, don’t drink chablis
I don’t drink nothing
‘Cause it all just makes me pee
I watch the clock and I count my sheep
But night after night, lost sleep, lost sleep
I don’t think about rain
I don’t think about the great blue sea
I don’t think about nothing
‘Cause it all just makes me pee
I watch the clock and I count my sheep
But night after night, lost sleep, lost sleep
