Sleepy Head 1934 'Spy 13'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 27 Jun 2002

Rip Van Winkle was a man
who taught folks how to sleep.
Twenty good long years,
wrapped in slumber deep.
You ain't Rip Van Winkle
but you do your best;
Boy, you sure do love your rest.

Sleepy Head, come on get out o' bed.
Ain't you heard the rooster crow?
Must a been a week ago;
Good for nothin' sleepy head.
Sleepy Head,
see the sun so bright and red.
He's been up and ridin' high,
but you just let the time go by,
good for nothin' sleepy head.
Ev'rything you do you do tomorrow,
but you've got a lot to do today,
mind me now,
you're bound to come to sorrow;
you're just gonna sleep
your sleepy head away.
Sleepy Head,
I'd take away that bed,
but you're such a lazy pup,
you'd be sleepin' standin' up;
Good for nothin' Sleepy Head.

Sleepy Head, come on get out o' bed.
Ain't you heard the rooster crow?
Must a been a week ago;
Good for nothin' sleepy head.
Sleepy Head,
see the sun so bright and red.
He's been up and ridin' high,
but you just let the time go by,
good for nothin' sleepy head.
Ev'rything you do you do tomorrow,
but you've got a lot to do today,
mind me now,
you're bound to come to sorrow;
you're just gonna sleep
your sleepy head away.
Sleepy Head,
I'd take away that bed,
but you're such a lazy pup,
you'd be sleepin' standin' up;
Good for nothin' Sleepy Head.

Sleeping Beauty was a girl
who slept for days and days,
till a handsome prince
woke her from that haze.
You're a sleeping beauty;
you outsleep them all;
and you never leave a call.

Sleepy Head, come on get out o' bed.
Ain't you heard the rooster crow?
Must a been a week ago;
Good for nothin' sleepy head.
Sleepy Head,
see the sun so bright and red.
He's been up and ridin' high,
but you just let the time go by,
good for nothin' sleepy head.
Ev'rything you do you do tomorrow,
but you've got a lot to do today,
mind me now,
you're bound to come to sorrow;
you're just gonna sleep
your sleepy head away.
Sleepy Head,
I'd take away that bed,
but you're such a lazy pup,
you'd be sleepin' standin' up;
Good for nothin' Sleepy Head.

Sleepy Head, come on get out o' bed.

Sleepy Head,
I'd take away that bed,
but you're such a lazy pup,
you'd be sleepin' standin' up;
Good for nothin' Sleepy Head.
