[Verse 1]
Sometimes I take a dip out in the ocean
Sometimes I take a stroll down to the dock
Sometimes I take out my paperclip collection
But every day at two o'clock
I go and

[Chorus 1]
Take a rest
I take a rest
I put my head on my pillow and my hands on my chest
I love being busy but sometimes it's best
To take it slow, take it easy, take a rest
Take a rest!

[Verse 2]
Sometimes me take a great big plate of cookies
Oh yeah, me take as many as any chef would bake
But when me tired from eating many cookies
There is one more thing me take
Me go and

[Chorus 2]
Take a rest
Me take a rest
Me put me head on me pillow, wipe the crumbs off me chest
It fun eating cookies but sometimes it's best
To take it slow, take it easy, take a rest
[Verse 3]
Sometimes your body likes to go out dancing
Sometimes your body likes playing too
But when your body is tired from playing and dancing
There is just one thing to do
Just go and

[Chorus 3]
Take a rest
Just take a rest
Put your head on your pillow and your hands on your chest
It is fun to go dancing, but sometimes it's best
To take it slow, take it easy, take a rest
Oh, yes, just

Take a rest
Just take a rest
Put your head on your pillow and your hands on your chest
It is fun to go dancing, but sometimes it's best
To take it slow, take it easy, take a rest
Take it slow, take it easy, take a rest
Take it slow.... take it easy.... take a rest
