Five O'Clock Snorin' Blues

I’m layin’ in my bed and it’s five in the mornin’
All I can hear is the ole’ man snorin’
Words to my songs going round in my head
And I wonder how long I can lie in my bed

Chorus

I got the five o’clock snorin’blues
I got the five o’clock snorin’ blues
I got the five o’clock snorin’blues again and
I can’t sleep any more

So I get up quietly with my slippers and gown
No use in lying here wearing a frown
I don’t make a noise as I steal out the door
I know that I’m not gonna sleep any more

Chorus

I head out to make myself tea in a cup
It’ll be quite a while before he gets up
So I sit and write songs in the dark of the morn
Until I see sunshine at the break of the dawn

Chorus

Now don’t you feel sorry as I tell you my tale
It’s the same for all women with a snorin’ male
We’re used to a “buzz-saw” next to our head
It’s the price we pay for sharing our bed!

Chorus
