The Lyrics
The downside to insomnia is that when you actually do get a good night's sleep, it can be very hard to haul yourself out of bed in the morning. The original version of this is one that I often believe I can sing when I'm singing in the shower. (For the purposes of making sense, this version - like the original - is designed to be sung by two singers.)
(Me) Bed? Bed? I can't get out of bed!
I'm much too warm to try to get up yet!
Sleep! Sleep! I'll surely sleep tonight!
No alarm clock dares to wake me up!
I could have slept all day
I could have slept all day
And still have dozed some more
Curled right up in these sheets
Counted a thousand sheep - never done that before
I'll never know what makes it so relaxing
Why all at once my heart rate slows
I only know when I put my pyjamas on
I can just sleep, sleep, sleep all day!
(My mum) It's after three now
Don't you agree now?
She should get out of bed
(Me) I could just sleep all day
I might just sleep all day
Then try to sleep some more
I'll curl up in these sheets
Count up a thousand sheep and then a thousand more
I just don't know what makes it so relaxing
Or why the bath tub calms me so
I only know when I put my pyjamas on
I could just sleep, sleep, sleep all day!
(My mum) Alarm clock's gone off
Don't you dare nod off
(Me) I think I slept all day
I think I slept all day
Yet tried to sleep some more
I curled up in these sheets
Counted a thousand sheep and then a thousand more
Really don't know what makes it so relaxing
Why all at once I start to yawn
I only know when I put my pyjamas on
I will just sleep, sleep, sleep all day!
I'm much too warm to try to get up yet!
Sleep! Sleep! I'll surely sleep tonight!
No alarm clock dares to wake me up!
I could have slept all day
I could have slept all day
And still have dozed some more
Curled right up in these sheets
Counted a thousand sheep - never done that before
I'll never know what makes it so relaxing
Why all at once my heart rate slows
I only know when I put my pyjamas on
I can just sleep, sleep, sleep all day!
(My mum) It's after three now
Don't you agree now?
She should get out of bed
(Me) I could just sleep all day
I might just sleep all day
Then try to sleep some more
I'll curl up in these sheets
Count up a thousand sheep and then a thousand more
I just don't know what makes it so relaxing
Or why the bath tub calms me so
I only know when I put my pyjamas on
I could just sleep, sleep, sleep all day!
(My mum) Alarm clock's gone off
Don't you dare nod off
(Me) I think I slept all day
I think I slept all day
Yet tried to sleep some more
I curled up in these sheets
Counted a thousand sheep and then a thousand more
Really don't know what makes it so relaxing
Why all at once I start to yawn
I only know when I put my pyjamas on
I will just sleep, sleep, sleep all day!

Delightful! You know, and this is not a joke, because I do this myself; this is just the thing that a nursing home or senior citizen group just loves. They are old enough to know the song and appreciate the very skilled lyrics. And the singer doesn't have to learn a new tune. With gratitude, The Pomfret. (Old, appreciative, etc.)
