Quarter to Three

Well I woke up this morning at a quarter to three

You know that’s far too early far too early for me

So I went back to bed until a quarter to four

Until I thought I heard somebody knock at the door



People I heard a rumour sleeping is good



Woke up this morning at a quarter to five

The neighbours threw a party and they’d started to jive

So I went back to bed until a quarter to six

How I wish I’d made my room out of a million bricks



People I heard a rumour sleeping is good



Woke up this morning at a quarter to eight

I wondered if that train I caught was gonna be late

So I went back to bed until a quarter to nine

I knew that all my worries would all turn out fine



People I heard a rumour sleeping is good



I woke up this morning at a quarter to ten

I thought I heard the voices of a couple of men

So I went back to bed until a quarter to Noon

I slept right through an Earthquake that was felt on the Moon



People I heard a rumour sleeping is good



Don’t wake me up

Don’t wake me up

Don’t wake me up

Don’t wake me up



People I heard a rumour sleeping is good



Don’t wake me up

Don’t wake me up

Don’t wake me up

Don’t wake me up



People I heard a rumour sleeping is good
