Lyrics

My Foot Stays Awake When I Sleep

Another morning comes, I'm sitting at my desk
But while I do my work, my ankle takes a rest
My toes are acting lazy, my foot is such a bum
I'm trying to do my job, but my leg keeps turning numb

I shuffle with a limp, and work the day away
It's twenty winks per toe while I try to earn my pay
At night I got to bed, and hope for pleasant dreams
My foot has other plans, at least that's how it seems

Steppin' out again
Every night at ten
Getting me in trouble oh so deep
Walking on the grass,
Kicking someone's ass
My foot stays awake when I sleep
Yes, my foot stays awake when I sleep

This restless leg of mine, it's such a lousy deal
'cause people look at me, and think I'm such a heel
My impish set of toes, they do the things they do
And then they run and hide, they're safe inside my shoe

Sandals never scare them when I'm out to mow the lawn
They promise to behave, but then they dance 'til dawn
A piggy to the market wouldn't bring me down
But what's a guy to do when his whole leg goes to town?

Steppin' out again
Every night at ten
Getting me in trouble oh so deep
Walking on the grass,
Kicking someone's ass
My foot stays awake when I sleep
Yes, my foot stays awake when I sleep

Now you've heard my story, and understand my plea
Someone here is guilty, but Judge, it isn't me
I'm a man of virtue, no criminal or crook
My foot's another story, I hope you drop the book

Steppin' out again
Every night at ten
Getting me in trouble oh so deep
Walking on the grass,
Kicking someone's ass
My foot stays awake when I sleep
Yes, my foot stays awake when I sleep
