Jonathan Richman
Wake up sleepyheads
Last night, I said "Goodbye!" to Ann
I tried to tell her about dreams, but she couldn't understand
She talked about Freud like he was an important man
After all that trash, I knew she didn't have a chance
I say, "Wake up! Sleepyheads, wake up!"
Ann
I say, "Wake up, you!"
I say "Wake up, sleepyheads!
The only time we're awake is when asleep or dead!"
I said, "Wake up, you, wake up!
Sleepyheads!"
I say, "Wake up, I!"
I couldn't remember any of my dreams last night
I said, "Wake up, me!"
Our dreams late at night are the only things that I know is real
I said, "Wake up, me, wake up!"
I
When we're awake, we're asleep
When we're asleep, that's when we're awake
Well, I told it all to Ann
She didn't understand
I said, "Wake up, sleepyheads! Wake up, Ann!"
Hey!
I say, "Wake up, sleepyheads!
We're only awake when asleep or dead!"
I say, "Wake up, sleepyheads!
We only think better when we're at home in bed!"
I said, "Wake up, you! Wake up!
Sleepyheads!
Wake up!
Wake up!"
I say, "Wake up! Wake up, now!
We think better last night than we do right now!"
I say, "Wake up, sleepyheads!
Boston is so pretty, but we're half dead!"
I say, "Wake up! Wake up, sleepyheads!"
