Lyrics
I am twice as happy as a millionaire,
Ev’ry day I have such lovely dreams,
When I’m sleepin’ money never gives me a care,
Trouble never troubles me it seems.
I don’t mind the summer heat or wintry storm,
When I turn in bed I feel the spring,
Clocks and their alarms are like a dose of chloroform,
When folks try to wake me up I sing:

Chorus:
Please Go ‘Way and Let Me Sleep,
Don’t disturb my slumber deep,
I would rather sleep than eat;
For sleep to me is such a treat, treat, treat.
I never had a dream so nice,
Thought I was in Paradise,
Wakin’ up makes me feel cheap,
So please let me sleep.

Ten o’clock this mornin’ I was poundin’ my ear,
Dreamin’ I’m the richest man in town,
Landlord hollered, “Wake up, quick and get out of here,
Hurry up, the place is burning down!”
I got sore at bein’ woke an’ started to shout,
“Stop that noise out there, for goodness sake,
I can’t watch a fire now, so you can put it out,
Burn your blamed old house when I’m awake!”

Chorus
