Sick and tired of sleeping on this mattress on my bed
So I went to Wal-Mart and this is what they said
Sheet of canvas 4 posts, that's where you lay
If you buy this cot then, you'll wanna sleep all day

It's not a mattress
it's portable and comfy on your neck
A sheet of canvas
If you buy today, pay for it with a check
It's not a mattress
Forget what color it is and where it goes and why

It's not a mattress
So when you get tired just sleep tight
every night
(come on now)

CHORUS
Do you ever wonder why, your couch makes you cry?
The springs poke your side, feel them when your body
wants to sleep
(your body wants to sleep)
Baby you can't beat
(you can't beat),
Place to rest your feet, come on now
This must be a cot

Comfy cot, that you can't stop
I know you like this comfy cot

Now, why you wanna try restin' on a futon bed or two
Cuz they won't treat your back nice, and you
wake up feelin' blue
Tired of hearing all around me, people just can't sleep
Just listen to me, buy a comfy cot, people, then you'll see

It's not a mattress
it's portable and comfy on your neck
A sheet of canvas
If you buy today, pay for it with a check
It's not a mattress
Forget the color it is and where it goes and why
It's not a mattress
So when you get tired just sleep there every night
(come on now)

Do you ever wonder why (why),
your couch makes you cry?
(couch bed makes you cry)
The springs poke your side, feel them when your body
wants to sleep
(your body wants to sleep)
Baby you can't beat
(you can't beat),
Place to rest your feet, come on now
This must be a cot

Ooooooooooooo
Man I'm tired of sleeping

comfy, comfy, comfy cot
comfy cot
Get you some good slumber (echo)
Asleep

Do you ever wonder why
(why),
your couch makes you cry?
(couch bed makes you cry)
The springs poke your side, feel them when your body
wants to sleep
(your body wants to sleep)
Baby you can't beat
(you can't beat),
Place to rest your feet, come on now
This must be...
Do you ever wonder why
(why),
your couch makes you cry?
(couch bed makes you cry)
The springs poke your side, feel them when your body
wants to sleep
(your body wants to sleep)
Baby you can't beat
(you can't beat),
Place to rest your feet, come on now
This must be a cot!
