Sleepyhead - The Mills Brothers

Sleepy Head, come on, get out of bed

Ain’t you heard the rooster crow?

Must’ve been a week ago

Good-for-nothing Sleep — y Head

A g#7 c#7 f#7

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-nothing Sleep — y Head

A g#7 c#7 f#7

Sleepy Head, I’d take away that bed

But you’re such a lazy pup, you’d be sleeping standing up

Good-for-nothing Sleep — y Head

A g#7 c#7 f#7

Sleepy Head, underworked and over fed

Gonna sleep the day away, «But this is such a sleepy day

«I wanna be a Sleep — y Head.»

A g#7 c#7 f#7

Sleepy Head, got to get you out of bed;

«You just stand around and shout until you get me tuckered out

I’m bound to be a Sleep — y Head.»

Bridge:

Big boy, don’t you know today is Sunday?

That’s no day to lay around and doze

A d9 a d9 a f#7

«Sunday is the day I sleep til Monday --

That’s the way I save my go-to-meet — in' clothes.»

A g#7 c#7 f#7

Sleepy Head, you’re gonna be a long time dead;

Gabriel’s gonna blow his horn, but you won’t hear it if it’s morn

Good-for-nothing Sleep — y Head

Coda:

«I heard you!»

Good-for-nothing Sleep — y Head
