Ten Thousand, Four Hundred And Thirty Two Sheep Composer(s): Julie Stein - Sammy Kahn Performer(s): Doris Day
I didnt sleep again last night And Id like to discuss the matter The nerves to which Im strung are tight And Im as beat as a bowl of batter
If old man Rip Van Winkle Thought his long sleep was a curse I know how the old man felt Because Ive got his problem in reverse
Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty two sheep How long can I toss like this? Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty three sheep What did you put in that kiss? Ive tried all the remedies The well-known good advice Took a hot tub and an alcohol rub Did the alphabet backwards twice
Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty four sheep Wed better get married soon Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty five sheep Ill never hold out till June How much do I love you? Just in case you didnt know You get a mental kiss With every sheep I count And I still got a million sheep to go
(Did you ever try seeing see a doctor?) A doctor?
I went to see a noted doctor Whos a famous analyst Then he led me to the couch And he gently took my wrist I paid him fifty dollars (Well, that sounds pretty cheap) Cheap! I should have paid him nothing! Cause I still cant sleep
(Ten thousand, four hundred) and thirty six sheep (And one sheep that got away) He took another lamb! (Ten thousand, four hundred) and thirty eight sheep (Wont night ever turn to day?) Oh what a fool I am How much do I love you? Just in case you didnt know You get a mental kiss with every sheep I count (Add them all together Thats a large amount)
Ive counted a trillion sheep (How many?) Ive counted a billion sheep (How many?) Well at least a million sheep, I know (How the numbers grow) And I got about million more to go
(Ten thousand, nine thousand, eight thousand Seven thousand, six thousand, five thousand)...
