Sixteen Hours
To the tune of Sixteen Tons
I slept sixteen hours, what did I get?
Another day older, but I wasn't done yet
St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I ain't dead
I'm just too damned lazy to get out of bed
I slept seventeen hours, what did I get?
My stomach growling, hungry as heck
Grab a fork and plate, spoon and bowl?
No, I rolled back over and started to snore
I slept eighteen hours, what did I get?
Wrinkles from my pillow, permanently set
I got bed head hair, that I can't comb
Well, I'll just leave well enough alone
I slept nineteen hours, what did I get?
Too much sleep, and I wasn't done yet
Should I rub one out or go back to sleep?
Ten seconds later I was countin' sheep
I sleep twenty hours and get up to pee
Look out the window, don't like what I see
It's cold outside, so whattaya know?
I'm right back in bed, not shovelin' snow
I slept twenty-one hours, what did I get?
Cotton-mouth, cotton-eye, worse yet
I woke up when I heard the north wind howl
No, that's my stomach lettin' out a growl
I slept twenty-two hours, what did I get?
No, St. Peter, I still ain't dead, yet
You've read this far, you must be brave
Tennessee Ernie's rollin' in his grave
I slept twenty-three hours, what did I get?
A really stiff back, a crook in my neck
Scratchin' my butt, scratchin' my head
Gettin' dark outside, time to go back to bed
I slept twenty-four hours, what did I get?
A silly ass song that's stuck in my head
Sittin' here, hot cup of joe in my hand
I have to sit 'cause I'm too tired to stand.
