I can't sleep, I can't sleep

My doctor said I've got to stay in bed

A week at least, a week or three

But that would drive me crazy



My lawyer said my case is weak

The witnesses refuse to speak

And you're up against a hanging judge and jury



The boss is on my back

He says he feels there something lacking in the progress

of my department

My youngest boy, not yet thirteen

Said Dad, drop out, this ain't your scene

But my eldest boy just said, Dad, drop dead



Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong

And they rarely go right for me

Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong

And they rarely go right for me



My mother says she's still alive

Please call us up from time to time

If it's not too much trouble

It's for your father's sake



My yoga class

Said take the time to relax, relax, relax

But we're dining out with the Shultzes tonight

And I hate the Shultzes



I never wake up in the morning

'Cos I never go to sleep at night

I go to bed, I take a powder

Maybe tonight's the night

All the cares of the day

Seem to gather in a corner

Like an army of ants

Who are waiting for the moment when the lights go out



I can't sleep, I can't sleep



Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong

And they rarely go right for me

Oh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong

And they rarely go right for me
