(D. Wall/A. Whiteman)

I ain't got nothing on my plate

Please let me sleep in late

No catfish biting at my bait

Please let me sleep in late

Feel like I'm standing at St. Peter's gates

Please let me sleep in late

Don't know the time, I don't know the date

Please let me sleep in late

Gonna lay right down here in my cozy bed

Well I might be dreaming, you know

I might be dead

Don't have to worry 'bout gaining weight

Please let me sleep in late

I ain't time for love and hate

Please let me sleep in late

For when the sun begins to rise

I don't want to see it through my tired eyes.

Don't have to worry 'bout gaining weight

Please let me sleep in late

I ain't got nothing on my plate

Please let me sleep in late

Don't know the time, or the date

Please let me sleep in late
