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}
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...

These slippers for sleepwalkin', and that's just what they'll do, but on this here day a five is getting rated onto you.
In retrospect, the title of the parody was pretty obvious hey ? Well done to think of it first, and good job with it.
Cute one (ABC) 5's
(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. ;)
And I had to go and read this just after I got up. Now I want to go back to bed.
(ABC-W) I thank you on the behalf of every college student who has to suffer mornings.
Physics and beer - brings back fond memories. Well done, neminem.
(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!!)
ABC--preaching to the choir, buddy! I should be in bed right now!
Yup, so should I, Arwen. SeeAlso: I Put It Off (Now I Better Get this Homework Started) :). Oh, and thanks for all the 5s.
Oh, Arwen, I'm still watching the movie!
....oh, all right!
....oh, all right!
great idea, neminem! I used to wake up to alarms - hated it more than anything! - 555
(ABC) Nice job.
As per my previous comment!
"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.
Don't know Neil Sedaka too well, but nice read
(ABC W) - Nice work, nem...from the comment dates I can see this was posted during my first week on my new job on a day when I had to call in sick with the flu...didn't do much parody reading for a few days in there...didn't do much of anything except sleep...able to appreciate this now...5's...
(ABC-W) Snoozetastic! 555
