I'm lying in my bed and I can't get asleep. 

My head is full of Melodies and I am counting sheep. 

DebbieDebbieDebbie I'm so down
DebbieDebbieDebbie I'm so tired
I'll stop this counting sheep, they're messin' up the floor 

and Actually I cannot even stand no sheep no more

Let's count something else: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The sound of clarinets is going round my head. 

I wonder if these Clarinets will never go to bed
I can't stop counting sheep, I just can't feel asleep

I'm lying in my bed and I can't get asleep. 

I never use them pills 'cos the sandman's sand is cheap. 

I'm lying in my bed and I can't Get asleep, 

my head is full of melodies and I am counting sheep
I'm tired of clarinets go peep-peep round my head, 

I wonder if these clarinets will never go to bed
