Sleepy Head
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers



Sleepy Head, come on, get out of bed
Ain't you heard the rooster crow? 
Must've been a week ago
Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head

Sleepy Head, see the sun so bright and red?
He's been up and ridin' high, but you just let the time go by
Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head

Sleepy Head, I'd take away that bed
But you're such a lazy pup, you'd be sleeping standing up
Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head

Sleepy Head, underworked and over fed
Gonna sleep the day away, "But this is such a sleepy day
"I wanna be a Sleepy Head"

Sleepy Head, got to get you out of bed
"You just stand around and shout until you get me tuckered out
I'm bound to be a Sleepy Head"

Big boy, don't you know today is Sunday?
That's no day to lay around and doze
"Sunday is the day I sleep til Monday 
That's the way I save my go-to-meetin' clothes"

Sleepy Head, you're gonna be a long time dead
Gabriel's gonna blow his horn, but you won't hear it if it's morn
Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head

"I heard you!" Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head
