Wake Up (And Go Back To Sleep)
© 2021 John V. Reynolds

chorus 1:
Wake up, turn off the television and go back to sleep.
Wake up, turn off the television and go back to sleep.
As spooky as it seems TV is messing with my dreams,
It’s creepy when I’m sleepy gotta make up my mind to
Wake up, turn off the television and go back to sleep.

verse 1:
I was flying high above the countryside.
I didn’t need no plane got my belly down and my arms spread wide.
Then a voice inside my brain starts sayin’ “no cholesterol, all natural,

chorus 4:
Wake up, turn off the television and go back to sleep.
Wake up, turn off the television and go back to sleep.
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep. Wake up and go back to sleep.
Wake up and go back to sleep. (repeat and fade)
