The Sandman Drinks His Coffee Without Cream

Sometimes I can't
Get out of bed
Eyelids closed
I can't raise my head
Sleepy eyes won't waken
From my dream

So, I just lay
Down on my side
Until the day
They open wide
The Sandman drinks his coffee
Without cream

I said the Sandman drinks his coffee without cream

The day's awake
But I'm in bed
Eyelids closed
I can't raise my head
Sunlight shining
On my bedroom wall

They're telling me
I'm running late
You better get a move on, Babe
Or you're gonna be late
But I survive
This simple wake up call

"CHORUS"

And sing
So lock the door
Forget the light
The day's no different
Than the night
When sleepy eyes
Won't waken from their dream
And the Sandman drinks his coffee without cream

Someone's calling
Out my name
Too early in the morning, Babe
To play that game
Footsteps pounding
Knocking at my door

They're telling me
I'm running late
You better get a move on, Babe
Or you're gonna be late
But I survive
Another wake up call

"CHORUS"

And sing
So lock the door
Forget the light
The day's no different
Than the night
When sleepy eyes
Won't waken from their dream
And the Sandman drinks his coffee without cream
