Sleep is taking over my intently covered head fight it, listen closely to the fuss under my bed
the one un-der my bed he is tes-ting my nerve I said: you go ahead and get what you de-serve
I'm wide awake Still wide awake
I'm wide awake, surprise me with your cunning Make me scream of fright Do I embaress you? Why do you hide?
See this bat And see this hammer, I'm all ready Come to mama!
And so i lie with blankets piled over The night goes by or does it not? Between my bed and floor The darkness clots!
Counting the sheepies that hop over fences Putting together my dignity's bits I don't need no pills to be brought to my senses, This time I will win without doppings and cheats!
One, Two, Three sheep over fence Head filled with sheepies, they giggle and dance. Then I hear a giggle from under the bed. not afraid, not afraid, not afraaaid!!
Lie imprisoned in bed with sheets so white Begging sunrise to end the ruthless night eyes are scanning the dark, face white as sheets And my hands are wet, squeezing my daddy's bat. Never tell me it's time to get to sleep!!
Eyelids bloody traitors Drawing closer Darkness Seems to move Toward my shoulder.
I will fiiiiiight
I think I see his hand Across my bed it creeps He sings the alphabet And chews my fluffy sheep! I'm imprisoned in Bed for what seems years Brushing thoughts off my mind until it's clear there's something that tries to fill the space Guess for him it is time to take my place
