Impulse

I had a ter­ri­ble time heed­ing my alarm clock this morn­ing. Slept an hour and a half later than I had intended. So, inspired by my inabil­ity to get out of bed, I com­posed this song to the tune of “Breaking up is hard to do”.

Don’t take my sleep
Away from me
I’m so comfy I don’t want to
Be free
Just a few
more min­utes will do
’Cause wak­ing up is hard to do
Remember when
I slept all day
And you threat­ened that
You’d move away
Don’t be mad
You’ve done it too
’Cause wak­ing up is hard to do
They say that wak­ing up
Is hard to do
Now I know,
I know that its true
The last snooze goes off and then
My eyes can barely open
’Cause I left my con­tacts in again.
I beg of you
Don’t awaken me
Can’t we lie here
’Till a quar­ter to three
I’ll make it fun
And worth­while for you
Waking up is hard to do
I beg of you
Don’t awaken me
Can’t we lie here
’Till a quar­ter to three
I’ll make it fun
And worth­while for you
Waking up is hard to do
Waking up is hard to do
Update: Apparently, sev­eral other peo­ple are musi­cal somnophil­i­acs: AmIRight, Alvin Dover, Doodle blog. Great minds sleep alike, but only a few are Carpenters fans.
