Sleepyhead

Some day is always a glum day,

You lose all your spirit;

Bleak day, that workaway weekday,

And oh how you fear it!

Closing, your heavy eyes closing,

Till nearly asleep, dear,

Dozing, while dreaming dozing,

Your troubles will keep, dear;

Sleepyhead, you'd better go dreaming

Sleepyhead, don't open your eyes!

Sleepyhead, or why should you worry away?

You'd better hurry away

Into your daydreams

Gay dreams!

Sleepyhead, when tears come a-streaming

Oh, weepyhead, no sorrow is wise;

Sleep away,

Deep away,

Keep away your sighs.

Sleepyhead, don't open your eyes!
