The Lyrics

Yup, yet another parody about sleep dep. *yawns*
Damn it, I've gotta get up now, damn it, damn it,
I've gotta get up now, damn it, damn it
I've gotta get up now,
Wakin' up is hard to do

I didn't get to sleep till 3,
Now my brain's in awful misery.
Need to grab a cup of brew,
'Cause wakin' up is hard to do

Remember that ungodly sight,
Worked on physics all through the night
Then we had a beer or two,
Now wakin' up is hard to do

They say that wakin' up is hard to do
Now I know I know that it's true
Don't say the night's at an end,
Instead of wakin' up I wish that I could go to sleep again

I beg of you
Just let me sleep
Time for class already? What the bleep?
Yeah, I'll give all my work to you,
Cause wakin' up is hard to do

They say that waking up is hard to do
Now I know I know that it's true
Don't say the night's at an end,
Instead of wakin' up I wish that I could go to sleep again

I beg of you
Just let me sleep
Time for class already? What the bleep?
I think, maybe, I've got the flu,
Cause wakin' up's so hard to do

I've gotta get up now, damn it, damn it,
I've gotta get up now, damn it, damn it...
{Fade out}

In retrospect, the title of the parody was pretty obvious hey ? Well done to think of it first, and good job with it.

(ABC-W) ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (Sound of alarm) Huh? End of the parody already? Seems like I just started reading it. OK - I'm awake enough to set your alarm for 5:55AM.

You're not supposed to go down Nocturn Alley! Undecided about my vote for this one, I'll sleep on it. ;)

(ABC) Reminds me of the time at M.I.T. I took a bunch of No-Doz just before calculus class, sat down, and promptly fell asleep....555 mg of caffeine (Disclaimer - DO NOT TAKE THAT MUCH ALL AT ONCE!!)

"What the bleep?" was my favorite part. "Instead of wakin' up I wish that I could go to sleep again" was my second favorite part. Very good.
