[Verse 1]
At sunrise, I want to pull the covers back over my head
But I stumble to the coffee maker like the walking dead
But baby, there ain't no doubt we probably ought to cut this out
But it ain't gonna be right now
'Cause later when the sun goes down

[Chorus]
We go to bed with the chickens
Then we act like night owls
You know who ain't doing no sleeping
When we're switching the light out
Ain't no dreaming under these covers
Ain't no keeping hands off of each other
Wake up in the morning, tired as the dickens
Even though we go to bed with the chickens

[Verse 2]
Now I can't help, I'm nodding off all through the day
Boss said if it happens again, she's gonna cut my pay
Well this five o'clock traffic flow
Lord, it always seems to go too slow
Get out of my way, oh I can't wait
I don't wanna get home late

[Chorus]
We go to bed with the chickens
Then we act like night owls
You know who ain't doing no sleeping
When we're switching the light out
Ain't no dreaming under these covers
Ain't no keeping hands off of each other
Wake up in the morning, tired as the dickens
Even though we go to bed with the chickens
Mm mm mm
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Baby, we don't need late night TV
We got our own show right here
If I start to doze and my eyes fly open
When you whisper in my ear

[Chorus]
Let's go to bed with the chickens
Then get to actin' like night owls
You know who ain't doing no sleeping
When we're switching that light out
There ain't no dreaming under these covers
We can't keep our hands off of each other
Wake up in the morning, tired as the dickens
Even though we go to bed with the chickens

[Outro]
Lord I wake up in the morning, tired as the dickens
Even though we go to bed with the chickens
