| I didn’t sleep again last night
|
| And I’d like to discuss the matter
|
| The nerves to which I’m strung are tight
|
| And I’m as beat as a bowl of batter
|
| If old man Rip Van Winkle
|
| Thought his long sleep was a curse
|
| I know how the old man felt
|
| Because I’ve got his problem in reverse
|
| Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty two sheep
|
| How long can I toss like this?
|
| Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty three sheep
|
| What did you put in that kiss?
|
| I’ve tried all the remedies
|
| The well-known good advice
|
| Took a hot tub and an alcohol rub
|
| Did the alphabet backwards twice
|
| Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty four sheep
|
| We’d better get married soon
|
| Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty five sheep
|
| I’ll never hold out till June
|
| How much do I love you?
|
| Just in case you didn’t know
|
| You get a mental kiss
|
| With every sheep I count
|
| And I still got a million sheep to go
|
| (Did you ever try seeing see a doctor?)
|
| A doctor?
|
| I went to see a noted doctor
|
| Who’s a famous analyst
|
| Then he led me to the couch
|
| And he gently took my wrist
|
| I paid him fifty dollars
|
| (Well, that sounds pretty cheap)
|
| Cheap! |
| I should have paid him nothing!
|
| 'Cause I still can’t sleep
|
| (Ten thousand, four hundred) and thirty six sheep
|
| (And one sheep that got away)
|
| He took another lamb!
|
| (Ten thousand, four hundred) and thirty eight sheep
|
| (Won't night ever turn to day?)
|
| Oh what a fool I am
|
| How much do I love you?
|
| Just in case you didn’t know
|
| You get a mental kiss with every sheep I count
|
| (Add them all together
|
| That’s a large amount)
|
| I’ve counted a trillion sheep
|
| (How many?)
|
| I’ve counted a billion sheep
|
| (How many?)
|
| Well at least a million sheep, I know
|
| (How the numbers grow)
|
| And I got about million more to go
|
| (Ten thousand, nine thousand, eight thousand
|
| Seven thousand, six thousand, five thousand)
|
| (To fade) |
