Ten Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-Two Sheep |
| I didn’t sleep again last night |
| And I’d like to discuss the matter |
| The nerves to which I’m strung are tight |
| And I’m as beat as a bowl of batter |
| If old man Rip Van Winkle |
| Thought his long sleep was a curse |
| I know how the old man felt |
| Because I’ve got his problem in reverse |
| Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty two sheep |
| How long can I toss like this? |
| Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty three sheep |
| What did you put in that kiss? |
| I’ve tried all the remedies |
| The well-known good advice |
| Took a hot tub and an alcohol rub |
| Did the alphabet backwards twice |
| Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty four sheep |
| We’d better get married soon |
| Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty five sheep |
| I’ll never hold out till June |
| How much do I love you? |
| Just in case you didn’t know |
| You get a mental kiss |
| With every sheep I count |
| And I still got a million sheep to go |
| (Did you ever try seeing see a doctor?) |
| A doctor? |
| I went to see a noted doctor |
| Who’s a famous analyst |
| Then he led me to the couch |
| And he gently took my wrist |
| I paid him fifty dollars |
| (Well, that sounds pretty cheap) |
| Cheap! |
| I should have paid him nothing! |
| 'Cause I still can’t sleep |
| (Ten thousand, four hundred) and thirty six sheep |
| (And one sheep that got away) |
| He took another lamb! |
| (Ten thousand, four hundred) and thirty eight sheep |
| (Won't night ever turn to day?) |
| Oh what a fool I am |
| How much do I love you? |
| Just in case you didn’t know |
| You get a mental kiss with every sheep I count |
| (Add them all together |
| That’s a large amount) |
| I’ve counted a trillion sheep |
| (How many?) |
| I’ve counted a billion sheep |
| (How many?) |
| Well at least a million sheep, I know |
| (How the numbers grow) |
| And I got about million more to go |
| (Ten thousand, nine thousand, eight thousand |
| Seven thousand, six thousand, five thousand) |
| (To fade) |
