Verse 1: I am twice as happy as a millionaire,
Every day I have such lovely dreams.
When I'm sleeping money never gives me a care.
Trouble never troubles me it seems.
I don't mind no summer heat or wintry storm,
When I turn in bed I feel the spring.
'Larm clocks act on me just like a dose of chloroform,
When folks tries to wake me up I sings:

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.
Waking up makes me feel cheap so please let me sleep.

Verse 2: Ten o' clock this morning I was pounding my ear,
Dreamin' I'm the warmest guy 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 and started to shout:
"Stop that noise out there, for goodness sake
I can't watch no fire now, so you can put it out,
Burn your blamed old house when I'm awake!"

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.
Waking up makes me feel cheap so please let me sleep.
