Now I lay me down (not) to sleep
Textbooks aligned across the sheets
Smother in papers six feet deep
I can't lay back and claim defeat......

(3. a.m)
Chapter read and lesson learned
Into my brain my ringtone burns
While my energy level falls
I take a three-hour phone call

(The Sleep Sheep sing):
Lie down, and count sheep
Or count heartbeats

(I sing)
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I move around

Who needs sleep?
I am never gonna get it
Forget sleep!
Not necessary
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you're getting
I have been awake so long
That it's getting scary


My books are clutched within my fists
It's six a.m. I'm filled with lists
of things that I need to get done
Another school morning's begun

(The Sleep Sheep sing):
Lie down, and count sheep
Or count heartbeats

(I sing)
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I move around

Who needs sleep?
I am never gonna get it
Forget sleep!
Not necessary
Who needs sleep?
We can all function without it
I have been awake so long
That it's getting scary


Who needs sleep?
I am never gonna get it
Forget sleep!
Not necessary
Who needs sleep?
We can all function without it
I have been awake so long
That it's getting scary

There's so much joy in life,
Opportunities all around
A constant state of insomnia
is how success is found

(The Sleep Sheep sing:)
With all life has to offer,
No need to be paranoid
You have got to resume sleeping
Or we'll really get annoyed

(The Sleep Sheep sing):
Lie down, and count sheep
Or count heartbeats

(I sing)
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I move around
Hala Hala Hala

Who needs sleep?
I am never gonna get it
Forget sleep!
Not necessary
Who needs sleep?
We can all function without it
I have been awake so long
That it's getting scary
