I need a hit record but I'm on the case
Laying in bed with a smile on my face
Resting my fingers, saving my voice
'Cause paying my dues is not my first choice

I've got a method that's worked in the past
Some say it's crazy, depends who you ask
I've never been one for beating down doors
There's an easier way to win a Grammy award I'm

Sleeping my way to the top
Nodding off and napping a lot
In my dreams I'm the cream of the crop
Sleeping my way to the top

Who needs talent when you've got great hair
I could tune my voice and the crowd won't care
Never played piano, barely pick a guitar
But under the covers I'm a rising star

Sleeping my way to the top
Nodding off and napping a lot
In my dreams I'm the cream of the crop
Sleeping my way to the top

Someday soon when I wake up
I'll be at number one
'Cause every dog must have his day
And mine is gonna come
I'm sleeping my way to the top
Nodding off and napping a lot
In my dreams I'm the cream of the crop

The radio's playing my songs non-stop
Rolling Stone's calling me the King of Pop
I'm sleeping my way to the top

Sleeping my way to the top
