Don't Sleep Too Long

Loosley apadated from a Huddie Ledbetter song

When you lay down to sleep. Don't you sleep too long
You never know what is going on when you lay down to sleep
Please don't sleep too long

Your house might catch fire. Your wife might be a liar
You might need help in the form of a church spire
Please don’t sleep too long

Dream Dream Dream - Dream the pain away
Sleep Sleep Sleep Escape from the world today
Dream Dream Dream - Dream the pain away
Under the bed live the monsters that will haunt you in the day
Hey.. Hey...

She anit so good looking and she don't dress so fine
She'll take is your money and then she'll mess with your mind
Please don't sleep too long

She might darn your socks or change your house locks
Or step out with every Rooster who walks on down your block
Please don't sleep too long

Dream Dream Dream - Dream the pain away
Sleep Sleep Sleep Escape from the world today
Dream Dream Dream - Dream the pain away
Under the bed live the monsters that will haunt you in the day
Hey.. Hey...

You can work hard all week and you can work hard each year
You can work until your hair turns white and you drown in your beer
Please don't sleep too long

Your might break your back and baby that's a fact
Working under the man's black factory chimney stacks
You can never tell what is going on

Dream Dream Dream - Dream the pain away
Sleep Sleep Sleep Escape from the world today
Dream Dream Dream - Dream the pain away
Under the bed live the monsters that will haunt you in the day
Hey.. Hey...

You can go to bed early and be early to rise
Your dreams might make you healthy weathly and wise
Just don't sleep too long

Dream Dream Dream - Dream the pain away
Sleep Sleep Sleep Escape from the world today
Dream Dream Dream - Dream the pain away
Under the bed live the monsters that will haunt you in the day
Hey.. Hey...
